Tieguanyin tea is sold by vacuum packaging or bulk weighing. Tea customers often buy a lot at a time and drink it for a long time.
Then, how can tea be preserved without losing its original flavor after being bought back? Let Tieguanyin culture tell you.
Tieguanyin belongs to semi-fermented tea. At present, tea-making technology is developing towards light fermentation. In light fermentation, Tieguanyin is easy to show a high blue fragrance, and the color of tea soup is also beautiful. However, in order to make Tieguanyin dry tea reflect aroma, it will not be too dry, resulting in a certain amount of water in Tieguanyin.
Such Tieguanyin must pay attention to the low temperature and sealing of tea in the later storage to reduce the role of water in tea. If Tieguanyin is dry, it feels crisp and dry at first, so Tieguanyin has low requirements for low temperature.
Many people have this understanding that fragrant Tieguanyin must be refrigerated, while traditional Tieguanyin cooked tea does not need to be refrigerated because it tastes heavier after slow baking. But it depends.
Generally speaking, if Tieguanyin is not weighed in bulk, it is basically in small independent packages, about 7 grams per package. This kind of tea is packed in vacuum compression, usually protected by an outer pot. If the tea drinker will finish it in the near future (usually about 20 days), then it is good to keep it in a cool place to avoid light. However, if tea drinkers want Tieguanyin tea to keep the best effect and the longest shelf life, it is still recommended to put it in a quick-frozen refrigerator and keep it fresh at a temperature of about MINUS 5 degrees Celsius, so as to achieve the best effect.
Generally speaking, the following points should be paid attention to in cold storage of Anxi Tieguanyin:
First, refrigeration helps to keep fresh, and it is best to keep it frozen.
Second, weaken the automatic oxidation of tea at low temperature. The higher the temperature, the faster the oxidation and the faster the deterioration.
Thirdly, Anxi Tieguanyin is generally suitable for cold storage, which can reduce the oxidation rate of various components in tea and maintain the original color and fragrance.
Fourth, Anxi Tieguanyin must be sealed when refrigerated to avoid odor.
Conclusion: Both people in the tea industry and experienced tea drinkers will tell you that Tieguanyin must be refrigerated. Under normal circumstances, cold storage can keep Tieguanyin from deteriorating in a short time and ensure the unique charm of tea itself. But the best way is to pay attention to the right amount when buying, so as not to spoil it and cause waste.
