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!
