Pu'er raw tea refers to all kinds of Yunnan tea (cake tea, brick tea, Tuo tea, Longzhu) that are stored in a natural way without artificial 'fermentation' or 'wodui' treatment, but processed, sorted and decorated. How many years can raw Pu'er tea last? How long is Pu'er tea stored?
The taste of tea varies with the storage time. There is a saying that "the older, the better". But this is determined by many factors. It mainly depends on the storage environment, the nature of tea, the age of storage, etc. Due to the particularity of tea, its storage life can only be determined by tea tasting, there is no unified standard.
If the storage time is short (one and a half years), it can be stored in a ventilated, natural, odorless and damp free place. If the storage time is long, we should pay attention to these items: must be aged in dry warehouse, the temperature can not be changed suddenly, avoid the infection of miscellaneous taste, use bamboo and Ruo packaging, and pay attention to the tea age and life.
