White tea is a dark horse in tea market in recent years. Because of its long-term storage characteristics, it is a rival to Pu 'er tea and has become the new favorite of tea collection.

Speaking of white tea, it is inevitable to shout a loud slogan: "one year of tea, three years of medicine, seven years of treasure"!

It is the aging characteristics of white tea that make white tea suddenly rise and become the latest choice for new and old tea customers.

In this spring tea season, white tea has once again become the focus of attention, and "price increase" and "listing" have once become hot search words in the tea industry.

More noteworthy than these two keywords is the preservation of white tea.

Most tea lovers who usually buy tea do not have professional storage equipment like tea farmers, so it is difficult to keep constant temperature and humidity. Most tea lovers choose to store white tea in apartment buildings and houses.

Mr. X, a tea friend, asked: Where should I put the tea at home?

It is true that leaving white tea at home should be the key word of the new round.

Before figuring out the correct way to store tea at home, we must first understand several key issues.

《2》

Why do you want to save white tea?

Different people have different ideas about the storage of white tea, but in summary, they can be divided into five categories.

The first category: storing white tea, you can feel the taste after aging.

The second category: the older the white tea, the more valuable it is, and the scarcer it is.

The third category: being hurt by making old white tea, saving tea by yourself can ensure the taste of old tea.

The fourth category: preserving white tea is a feeling, and old white tea bears witness to the years.

The fifth category: white tea has unique health care effects when it is old.

No matter for what purpose, saving white tea is a top priority!

What are the characteristics of white tea after storage?

To say the characteristics of white tea after preservation, it can be summarized as three points.

1, the appearance color becomes darker.

Just as people grow wrinkles and senile plaques when they get old, white tea will change when it gets old.

The most obvious thing is that the color of white tea has deepened.

Just like an old object, after time polishing, it will eventually fade its tender color and replace it with deep color.

If you have seen the appearance of new tea and old tea, you will find that the difference is really more than a little.

2. It has special fragrance such as medicinal fragrance and jujube fragrance.

After transformation, white tea will have medicinal fragrance. This is also one of the typical characteristics of old white tea.

The medicinal fragrance of old white tea is not irritating, similar to the herbal tea that Fujian people will drink in summer, and it is a comprehensive fragrance of honeysuckle, selfheal and wormwood.

This fragrance is hard to find in new tea.

In addition to medicinal fragrance, old white tea also has jujube fragrance, which is highly anticipated.

But not all old white tea will have jujube fragrance, only some high-quality Shoumei cakes will have jujube fragrance. Perhaps after squeezing, a large amount of pectin in Shoumei was released and participated in the later transformation, which produced such a sweet aroma.

3. Old tea soup is more mellow

If the strong feeling of the new tea period has surprised us, the soup of the old white tea will only be worse.

If you want to score the mellow feeling of old tea, it is definitely a perfect score!

Old white tea, like an old song, is more attractive to listen to. Another example is an old bottle of wine. The older it gets, the better it gets.

With these changes in details, it is no wonder that we are willing to pay for old tea.

How long can white tea last?

The ultimate goal of saving white tea is to drink it!

How long will it last? There is no clear answer. White tea tastes different at different stages.

In the first stage, white tea has just been made.

The fresh and refreshing feeling is the strongest time to make white tea now. If you like the fresh and refreshing taste and rich floral fragrance of white tea, new tea is a good choice.

In the second stage, after half a year of white tea preparation,

After half a year's aging, the aroma of white tea is more intense (the aroma concentration is much higher than that of freshly brewed white tea). At this time, the white tea, after repair, reached the best state in aroma and soup color.

The third stage, one year after Chen Hua.

Chen Hua's change in one year is more meaningful.

For example, 20 17, Bai Hao Silver Needle, after a year of aging, the soup becomes more moist, just like a gentleman on a stranger, which makes people blush.

In terms of aroma, the freshness gradually converges, like a teenager, and after social experience, it has become calm.

Drinking tea at this stage will definitely impress you.

The fourth stage, after aging for three years.

Old white tea must not be missed. After three years of testing, the green color of white tea has completely faded and turned into a calm tea fragrance.

Old white tea is characterized by strong medicinal fragrance and floral fragrance, and the soup is soft, smooth and mellow.

Knowing this, let's talk about it again. What should we do to save tea at home?

Keep tea at home, where to put it?

There are not many places in the house where tea can be stored. There are too many environments for storing tea.

First, we have to rule out several venues.

1, balcony

Step 2: Kitchen

3. A bedroom with people living in it

These places are not suitable for storing white tea.

Balcony, with direct sunlight and high temperature in summer, will accelerate the deterioration of white tea and is not suitable for storing tea.

Kitchen, the source of steam and odor, can not preserve white tea.

The bedroom where people live will also produce smells (perfume, smoke, etc.). ) and water vapor (respiration, humidification in winter, etc. ), it will affect the storage of white tea.

After the elimination, there are not many places to store tea.

Among them, the unoccupied bedroom is preferred.

An unoccupied bedroom is the best choice.

Secondly, it is learning.

Keeping white tea in these two places can keep it away from odor and water vapor to the greatest extent.

After choosing the place to store white tea, there are still a few details to be done.

1, keep the white tea, and be sure to leave the wall and the ground.

It is very simple to do this. Take a wooden shelf or a small bench and put the carton on the bench.

2. Save white tea and avoid direct glare.

3. Three-layer packaging method

This keeps the standard of white tea, and plastic bags, aluminum bags and cartons are indispensable.

Specific method: put the white tea into an aluminum bag and seal it. Then cover it with a plastic bag and seal it. Finally, put it into a carton and seal it.

Good tea can be preserved according to this preservation method.

Compared with the professional storage environment, there are too many uncertain factors that will affect the quality of white tea.

What we have to do is to avoid the contact between white tea and these bad factors to the greatest extent, and choose rooms that meet the preservation conditions as much as possible.

Saving tea at home is not as difficult as imagined! Avoid moisture, odor, strong light, strong oxygen and other factors, but also save qualified tea!

Finally, friendly reminder, suitable for family tea storage: study, unmanned bedroom!
