Storage principles of aged Poria cocos brick tea

Temperature and humidity: Temperature 18-25℃ (fluctuation not exceeding ±5℃), relative humidity 55%-65% (In the south, moisture protection is needed; unscented silica gel desiccant can be placed. In the north, dryness protection is needed; a shallow dish of water can be placed next to the storage container to prevent the tea brick from drying out and cracking).

Ventilation and Sealing : Avoid complete sealing (it will stifle the aroma); allow slight ventilation (to allow the tea leaves to breathe slowly and continue aging); however, avoid excessive ventilation (to prevent aroma loss). Every 2 months Ventilate once. 2-3 minutes each time.

Avoid light and prevent cross-contamination of odors: Keep away from direct sunlight (ultraviolet rays will destroy the aged aroma substances) and isolate odor sources (kitchen fumes, spices, cosmetics, etc., this Gong Cha has a strong absorption capacity and once the odor is cross-contaminated, it is irreversible).
