Proper Storage of Puer

Proper Storage of Puer

Here’s how to properly store Peur tea: 

1. Moisture Content: Your Puer tea naturally contains about 10-12% moisture in it. 

2. Ideal Conditions: Store it at room temperature, below 86°F (30°C), with a humidity level between 45-60%. These are the best conditions to maintain its quality. You can find out what your humidity level is by searching for your area’s humidity and temperature levels online, or buying a hydrometer. 

3. When Humidity is Too High:

If the humidity goes above the ideal range, use resealable plastic bags or airtight bags.

Place one tea cake (the pressed disk of tea) per bag, squeeze out the air, and seal it tightly.

Store the sealed bags in a storage box to prevent mold.

4. When Humidity and Temperature Stabilize:

Once the humidity and temperature return to normal, open the bags to let the tea “breathe” and continue its natural aging process.

5. When It’s Too Dry:

If the environment is too dry (low humidity), also seal the tea to retain its moisture.

 

Remember: Consistently maintain the recommended temperature and humidity levels for the best aging results. Good luck!
