How to store Fuding white tea at home in hot summer?

Summer comes quietly, and drinking a cup of tea can not only cool off the heat, but also nourish the mood.

However, even the best tea leaves, in the hot and humid weather in summer, will easily affect the quality of tea leaves if they are not properly preserved.

So, what should we pay attention to when storing tea in summer?

Pay attention to the temperature first.

The most striking feature of summer is high temperature, so it is suggested that white tea be stored at room temperature. Because too high or too low temperature will affect the renovation, families with conditions can control the room temperature at 20 ~ 26℃.

Some tea lovers think that tea leaves should be kept in the refrigerator in summer, but white tea is different from green tea. If stored in the refrigerator, the moisture in the refrigerator will not only push the white tea to the moldy abyss, but also easily become a Petri dish for bacteria.

Moreover, white tea has strong adsorption, and it is easy to absorb the taste of food around the refrigerator, leading to the taste of white tea!

Second, keep the oxygen circulating.

Keeping the air fresh and convection is beneficial to the combination of tea leaves and oxygen in the air, resulting in non-enzymatic automatic oxidation and accelerating "aging".

When storing tea leaves, you must pay attention to avoid touching odorous objects such as oil smoke, cosmetics and spices (air fresheners, mosquito killing tablets).

The third problem is humidity.

When it is hot in summer, there will be more rain and the humidity in the air will increase. When storing tea, the humidity in the air is too high, which is easy to make tea absorb excess water and lead to tea deterioration.

When collecting white tea, the first task is to store it in a dry space. Storing tea at home can raise the bottom of the bag and isolate the wall and floor.

Fourth, avoid direct sunlight.

Putting tea in a high temperature environment and baking in the sun, with direct glare and too high temperature, will fundamentally change the intrinsic substance of tea.

After a certain period of high temperature or sun exposure, the aroma of white tea changes first. Some original aromatic substances will gradually dissipate at high temperature.

Therefore, white tea can be placed in a place without direct sunlight and natural light transmission.

Generally speaking, the storage environment of white tea should be dry, dark, normal temperature and no odor.

Do not open the package easily when storing, so as to reduce the contact between tea leaves and oxygen in the air and accelerate their oxidation. If stored in a good environment, white tea will have a good aroma and taste.

In addition to several aspects of Tibetan tea in summer, add a sentence about the storage period of white tea.

Although white tea is more fragrant as it ages, there used to be a saying that "grandpa is a grandson to sell", and the storage period of white tea is uncertain. The quality of any kind of white tea has an optimal period, after which the quality will decline.

So what is the best time?

It is the time when white tea is stored until "the soup is red and thick, the aroma is obvious, the taste is rich, and the leaves are black and brown".

With the improvement of modern tea-making technology, pressed white tea with good quality has the basic quality characteristics of old white tea, but it will be better after being stored for a period of time.

The blind pursuit of long storage time will lead to excessive decomposition and oxidation of beneficial components in white tea, which will affect the quality, but it will not pay off.

Seeing this, perhaps many tea lovers will ask: Isn't the storage of white tea called "dry warehouse", "wet warehouse" and "dry and wet warehouse"?

In fact, according to the market demand and characteristics, white tea is stored in a specific environment, and after a period of storage, different styles of taste are formed.

Generally speaking, as far as the natural environment is concerned, tea stored in coastal areas or cities with high humidity is easy to form wet barn tea (mildew), while white tea stored in such a dry environment in the north is easy to form dry barn tea.

Tea lovers who like to drink white tea may wish to buy the same brand, category and batch, but try white tea sold in different regions.

In this way, how to store white tea at home can be realized.
