How long is the shelf life of Fuzhuan tea?
This is because the raw materials of Fuzhuan brick tea are relatively mature, and the newly-made brick tea has a coarse Qing Xiang and a astringent taste. If stored for 3 ~ 5 years or even 8 ~ 10 years under good conditions, the aroma substances in tea can continue to be oxidized, polymerized or degraded, thus making the taste more mellow, sweet and delicious.
It is said that black tea is more fragrant as it ages. Some people also say that tea in the traditional sense, therefore, Fuzhuan tea has no shelf life, but tea can absorb odor and moisture, leading to "chemical changes" in tea quality, which will deteriorate if the taste is changed.
However, Fuzhuan brick tea belongs to post-fermentation tea, and fresh tea leaves are processed into brick tea by rough tea, fermentation and pressing, which lasted for more than 300 days. After fermentation and pressing, the content of amino acids and chlorophyll in Fuzhuan brick tea is less and it is not easy to get moldy.
When you buy Fuzhuan tea, you will find that the long-term shelf life is marked on the outer packaging. This is because Fuzhuan tea is fermented, and a large number of microorganisms and trace elements participate in the fermentation process, which will naturally bloom and grow an active fungus-coronary ascomycete, commonly known as "golden flower".
Of course, if tea is found to have a musty smell, it is generally caused by improper preservation and can no longer be drunk. Fuzhuan tea has a strong taste, and people who have just come into contact with Fuzhuan tea are not used to it. Old Fuzhuan brick tea has been in Chenfang for a long time. After a long period of post-oxidation, the tea has become mild and non-irritating.
Generally speaking, under good storage conditions, the shelf life of Fuzhuan tea is very long, and it can even be preserved for a long time. Fuzhuan tea can promote blood metabolism, help digestion, nourish the stomach, reduce the three highs and blood sugar, and has medicinal effects. The longer the storage time, the higher the degree of oxidation and the more mellow the taste of tea soup.
