The older Pu 'er tea gets, the more fragrant it is, and it is known as "an antique that can be drunk". Pu 'er tea has great collection value and appreciation space. The older Pu 'er tea is, the higher its price and the better its taste. Good quality Pu 'er tea can appreciate at an annual growth rate of 10% to 15%. A factory in Xishuangbanna, Yunnan produces 7542 regular teas (dry warehouse goods). At that time, a cake (seven-fen tea) was only sold at 10 yuan, but it rose to 150 yuan six years later. A piece of Pu 'er tea cake weighing 350 grams and stored for 50 years is even more expensive than a Honda car. "The older you get, the more fragrant you get" is determined by many factors. This mainly depends on the storage environment, the essential characteristics of tea and the age of Chen Fang. Because of the particularity of tea, its shelf life can only be judged by tea tasting, and there is no uniform standard. Many unscrupulous manufacturers use consumers' psychology to store tea in a damp warehouse and put tea in an environment with poor ventilation and high humidity to speed up aging and processing.

According to the introduction of Pu 'er tea collectors, we must pay attention to the following issues when collecting Pu 'er tea cakes: First, we must distinguish between raw tea and old tea. Before 1970s, the old tea was mainly green cake and raw tea, that is, the cake tea and loose tea made by withering, drying in the sun, autoclaving and molding were called raw tea (green cake Pu 'er), which was fermented after being exposed to natural changes in the air. The longer the storage time, the more mellow the tea quality. However, cooked tea (cooked cake Pu 'er) is made by fermenting tea at a certain temperature and humidity by heating heap fermentation technology. The fermentation of cooked tea has been qualitative, and the storage time will not change the quality of tea itself. Second, determine the storage location.

1, which must be dried and aged.

Dry warehouse will not be moldy and slow to transform, but it can keep the authenticity of Pu 'er tea. "Tea likes leaves and fears fragrant medicine, but prefers warm dryness to cold and dampness". "Tea Story" Song? Cai Xiang. Dry storage refers to the storage of tea leaves after fermentation in an environment with moderate temperature and humidity and good ventilation; Wet warehouse means that tea merchants put tea leaves in an environment with poor ventilation and high humidity to accelerate aging in order to obtain profits.

The temperature should not change suddenly.

If the temperature in the warehouse is too high and the temperature difference changes too suddenly, it will affect the vividness of the taste of water-based tea soup, and even if the temperature in the warehouse is too high, it will form sultry heat, making the original raw tea mature. This happens from time to time in tea warehouses in Hong Kong.

Step 3 avoid odor infection

Tea is the most absorbing odor. Sprinkle a handful of dry tea leaves to remove the odor in the air. Because outside, we should try our best to keep the storage environment clean and odorless. "I like leaves and I am afraid of fragrant medicine." Song? By Cai Xiang; "Like a cool and evil steaming depression. I like to be alone and avoid the smell. " Ming? Long Wen wrote: "Tea is easy to dye. Discussion on foul-smelling things. Don't go near it That is, the name is not suitable for the other party. " Is "tea solution" clear? Luo Lin

Step 4 pack with bamboo poles

"Tea must be built. It is still tightly filled with thick bricks. The urn mouth should be reopened. Wrapped in leather paper, is "tea sparse" clear? Xu Cishu. This traditional packaging material and method can help Pu 'er tea to filter off the odor in the post-fermentation process, thus ensuring its purity. People often repackage old tea with inferior plastic paper. After a long time, it will give off an odor, which will directly destroy the taste of Pu 'er tea.

5. Pay attention to tea age life.

The age life of Pu 'er tea is 60 years, or 100 years, or hundreds of years. Without conclusive data, the aging degree of Pu 'er tea is often judged only by the intuition of tea tasters. For example, Fuyuan Chang and Tongqing Lao Pu 'er round tea have reached the highest point of aging, and must be sealed and preserved to avoid continuous rapid post-fermentation, resulting in the gradual disappearance of tea properties and poor taste. The golden melon tribute tea in the Forbidden City has a history of one or two hundred years, and it tastes the same. The soup is colored, but the tea tastes old and light.

Jinguagong tea

Pu 'er Jinguagong tea is a unique product of existing aged Pu 'er tea. Hong Kong, Macao and Taiwan tea circles call it "Pu 'er Tea Emperor". The production of this kind of tea began in the seventh year of Qing Dynasty (1729), and the best daughter tea in Xishuangbanna was selected to make group tea, loose tea and tea cream Gongjingchao cigarettes. Jinguatou tribute tea or Jinguatou tribute tea is said to be the first-class bud tea picked by unmarried girls. Generally, the picked bud tea is put in the girl's arms, accumulated to a certain amount, and then taken out and placed in a bamboo basket. This kind of bud tea will turn golden yellow after long-term storage, so the first tribute tea is also called Jinguatou tribute tea or Jinguatou tribute tea. It has been made for more than 200 years. The processor of this product is Pu 'er Gong Tea Factory, and the raw materials and preliminary processing are all from Yibang Tea Mountain in Xishuangbanna.

Fu Chang yuan yuan cha

The two major tea mountains, Yibang and Yiwu, once performed the most brilliant chapter of Pu 'er tea in Qing Dynasty. Founded in the early years of Guangxu, the two teahouses, Song and Changyuan, are located in the two tea mountains of Yibang and Yiwu respectively. This tea factory named "Yuanchangye" is located in Yiwu, and it is called "Fuyuan Changye". It is a specially refined Yiwu Shanda leaf tea, which is different from Yibang Xiao Ye tea. At present, the oldest "Fuyuan Changyuan Tea" was produced in Guangxu period, about 100 years ago. The Story of Pu 'er Tea says: "Centennial Fuyuan Changyuan Tea enjoys the reputation of' Pu 'er Tea King'.

Tong Qing Hao Lao yuan cha

In the middle and late Qing Dynasty, Ebang Tea Mountain declined, and Yi Wu tea area rose, which gathered many tea merchants in Yunnan at that time. They set up a factory to make tea, introduced advanced tea-making technology, and made tea with big leaves and tender spring and white tips, making Yiwu the first of the six ancient tea mountains in Xishuangbanna in terms of tea output and tea quality. Tongqing Tea House set up a factory in Yiwu on 1736 to make tea, which has a history of more than 100 years.

Tongqing tea is divided into two types: internal ticket and internal flight. 1920 was preceded by "Malone trademark" and followed by "double lion flag map". Tea before 1920 is the best. It is packed with the best bamboo pole, and the surface is light golden yellow. The color of bamboo pole and bamboo skin used for binding is similar to that of bamboo pole. Tongqing tea for the aged is characterized by elegance and introversion, which is extremely soft and beautiful. It is regarded as a national boutique and enjoys the reputation of "Queen of Pu 'er Tea".

Jing Chang yuan cha

During Guangxu period of Qing Dynasty, individual tea merchants intervened in Pu 'er tea export business. Tea-making technology is comparable to that of Jingchang (later changed to Xinchang) Tea House in Tongqing. First-class and high-quality tea cyanines are taken from Mansan, and "Qizi cake tea" is mainly made, and then transported to Laos by cattle gangs or caravans, and then shipped to Vietnam, Dai countries and Hong Kong for sale. The reason why Jingchangyuan tea has a price and no market is because it can be met but not sought. The reason is not only excellent quality, but also fascinating manufacturing technology and packaging. Jingchangyuan tea, with first-class pressing technology, is full and full of charm, with uneven edges, but strong sense of rhythm and pleasing to the touch. Its shape is convex and concave, and its leaves are clearly arranged and beautiful. There is no Pu 'er tea in the world that can match the beauty of its form. Most of its existing products are from the 1940s. Each cake is 20.5 cm in diameter and weighs 330 grams. It is a wild camphor flavor, extremely delicate in water, melts in the mouth, and is the smoothest in Pu 'er tea.

Yangyuan tea

In the early Qing Dynasty and the long years before, it was Yibang Tea Mountain, which occupied an important position in the history of tea culture and was famous for planting lobular tea. Yang Pinhao Teahouse was built in the early years of the Republic of China, with Yibang Xiao Ye tea as the raw material. The number of "Yang Renyuan Tea" made by it is small, the cake body is small, the diameter is about 19 cm, and each cake weighs about 280 grams. Each cake has a 5 x 6.8 cm vertical fly, and the red letter on the white background reads "This number is Kaiyibang Street to refine the heart and give it to your customers. Please mark the inner ticket as "". According to experts' research and evaluation, the oldest existing "Yang Renyuan Tea" has a history of about 60 years. Its tea soup is fragrant, thin and slightly sour, and it is a typical Yibang lobular Pu 'er tea.

Tongxin yuancha

Tongxin tea can be divided into "prophase" and "anaphase". This is made by Tongxin Teahouse. Tongxin Tea House was founded in 1733, formerly known as Shunxianghao, also known as China CITIC Bank, and its factory is in Yiwu Town. At present, the tea products produced in Qing dynasty have been extinct, and all the existing tea products belong to the round cake tea between 192 1- 1949. Tongxin Xingyuan tea produced during 192 1 ~] 934 is called Tongxin Zaoyuan tea. From 1935 to 1949, it is called "Tongxing Late Round Tea". At this time, the output of Tongxing round tea is very small, and they are all excellent.

No matter in the early or late stage, Tongxingyuan tea has such a saying: "There is no white-pointed tender tea on the top of Yiwu Yibang Mountain Pine" (Mansongshan Tea Garden was synonymous with high-quality tea in the old society).

192l or so, Tongxinghao Teahouse produced 500 tons of tea, which was one of the tea giants at that time. Set up a factory in Yiwu, taking Yibang's tea cyanine as raw material. Tongxingyuan tea is available for sale. Early tea has an aging period of more than 70 years, and late tea has more than 60 years. The tea-like nature between them is the representative of relying on Pu 'er tea, and it can also show the extraordinary tea-making skills of Tongxinghao Teahouse.

Tong Chang yuan cha

Tongchang Tea House was founded in Tongzhi for seven years (1869). The teahouse has changed hands several times and has three tea names. The earliest original Changhaoyuan tea is no longer available, and all the tea products that have survived to this day are marked as "Master Huang Wenxing" or "Master Tongchang Huang Ji" after 1930s. "Tongchangyuan Tea" has the best quality, with thick dark chestnut cake, flat rope and thick white hair. You can clearly see that the tea leaves are integrated, natural and beautiful, and the oil surface is excellent. Tongchang Yuancha and Tongchang Huangjiyuan Tea use Yiwu tea, but according to the tasting of tea masters, they should all be Yiwu tea.

Ding xing yuan cha

1940 produced by Menghai tea factory. Dingxinghao Tea House is famous for producing high-grade Pu 'er tea. There are three kinds of Dingxing round tea: red round tea, blue round tea and purple round tea. The difference is that the colors of the inner fly are different. Red wheel and blue wheel, similar in quality, are about 60 years old, both are fine Pu 'er tea, and Zi Yuan is inferior in quality. Red and blue alternate, the color of tea cake is deep red, the rope is thick, the oil surface is shiny, the cake body is thin, and the color of purple round cake body is light. Tea leaves are mostly single-leaf old tea cyanine, which is less oily, loose and mixed with many thin yellow leaves, and the cake body is the thickest in Pu 'er tea. The registered trademark of Dingxinghong and Lanyuan tea tickets is "Xingyue" pattern, and the words "This number of pre-rain bud spring tea is selected and stamped with the special anti-counterfeiting seal" are indicated. (The original meaning of "Zhengshan" is Yiwu Mountain. In the old days, Chashan in Yiwu was famous for its "tender spring and white tip". )

Keyixing brick tea

Kexing Brick Teahouse 1925 was founded by Zhou Wenqing. The middle and late 1930s was its golden age, and the annual output of tea was about 1 1,200 tons. Kexing brick tea is made of fine black rope and fine Menghai Pu 'er tea, which is a specimen of black Pu 'er tea. In Taiwan Province Province, Hongkong and other places, brick tea produced in the late 1940s was still rare. It tells people with facts that in a longer period of time, Menghai villagers have begun to write the history of brick tea.

Hong tai Chang yuan cha

Hongchanghao Tea House, founded by Yibang, is another time-honored brand that produces and manages Pu 'er tea, and it is also a deep-water area for Pu 'er tea export. In 1930s, Hongtaihao Tea House set up a branch in Thailand, named Hongtaichang, and later set up agency companies in Hong Kong and Nanyang, which was the first pampered "Pu 'er Empire" in the history of Pu 'er tea. The existing peerless products have a shelf life of 70 years, and their character is almost the same as that of any kind of big leaf tea. Hongchang Tea House has always been headquartered in Yibang. The people's commune disappeared after its establishment. Hongchang, located in Thailand, still exists today, making Hongtaichang Pu 'er tea with tea seeds from Vietnam, Thailand, Myanmar and other countries. Therefore, "Hongtai Changyuan Tea" is the representative of "Border Pu 'er Tea", which is the most common Pu 'er tea, and it is a Pu 'er tea kingdom hanging overseas. Overseas, there is the kingdom of Pu 'er tea opened by China people, which is indeed a meaningful Pu 'er spirit.

Yin hong yuan cha

Both the inside of the cake and the tea are marked with red, and the front of the outer paper of the tea cake is printed with the logo of "Bazhong Tea" China Tea Company. In the circle of eight Chinese characters, there is a red word "tea". Among Pu 'er tea products produced by China Tea Company, the only products marked with the words "Bazhong Tea" and "Tea" are red printed Pu 'er round tea and red printed Yunnan Tuocha, which is unprecedented.

Besides its life experience value, the quality of Yin Hong Pu 'er tea is also the best among modern Pu 'er tea. In addition to the qualities of fat tea seeds, full bunches, pink color, glossy tea surface, red tea soup and soft and fresh leaves, the tea leaves are completely buried in the center of the tea cakes, which are all umbilical mortar-shaped cake teas with thick tea soup, orchid fragrance or wild camphor fragrance, and red-printed round tea, which is the pride of Menghai tea factory in the history of modern Pu 'er tea.

Lv yuan yin cha

Menghai Qingyin round tea can be divided into early stage and late stage. The early green printed round tea was also called "green printed round tea" or "blue printed round tea". The early green-printed round tea is first-class in terms of aging fragrance, camphor fragrance, taste and tea fragrance. Late green printing refers to a large number of Pu 'er tea produced by Menghai Tea Factory in 1950s and 1960s.

It is called "Huangyinyuan Tea" and is the ancestor of modern Pu 'er tea with tea seeds. Yellow-printed round tea turns golden yellow after aging, and tea cakes are yellow, so the word "tea" in the circle composed of eight red Chinese characters marked on the outer paper is yellow, while the word "tea" is marked inside.

In the 1960s, the collocation technology of "Huangyinyuan Tea" was used. Menghai Tea Factory has introduced the "Yunnan Qizi Cake", a substitute of China tea brand round tea.
