People seem to have inferior roots.
In fact, I am already very good, but I always feel that I am not good enough.
I will always envy other people, why can I be perfect and fit for other people's children.
The Internet says that the best people in the world are other people's children.
They have good grades, good sports, and seem to be a perfect person.
From childhood to adulthood, it has always been the envy of its peers, and it is also the name that is heard the most from the mouths of parents.
Sometimes, it's really stuffy to listen to.
Fortunately, the mother and adults are all free-range and do not live in the shadow of other people's children.
Sometimes, people or things in other people are not completely impeccable.
For example, in the matter of storing white tea, there are many opinions.
Some people say that the white tea stored in the north is of better quality, and the south is too wet.
It is also said that white tea needs a lot of air in the process of storage, so it is necessary to open the box regularly for ventilation.
In fact, this is not the case.
The matter of storing tea, there are not so many circles around, in fact, it is very simple.
《2》
If you want to save good white tea, it is taboo to open the box regularly for ventilation.
I've seen a video before.
The main content of the video is to take apart the tightly sealed cartons and let the white teas directly exposed to the air, and they can breathe freely.
Regularly open the box for ventilation, white tea can be stored as much as possible?
Of course not.
Regularly opening the box for white tea for ventilation is an abnormal and incorrect thing.
Store white tea, pay attention to sealing and avoiding light.
When we store white tea, we try to seal it as much as possible to avoid letting those bad factors in the outside world affect the quality of white tea.
But they were good enough to open the gates directly to the undesirables so that they could invade the interior and wreak havoc.
The air contains a large number of water molecules, and dry white tea is afraid of moisture.
A large number of water molecules enter the white tea, which will cause the water content of the white tea to exceed the standard.
The white tea national standard clearly stipulates that the water content of tea should be less than 8.5%, and the quality is qualified.
When the dryness does not meet the standard, it can only prove that there is a problem with the quality of the tea.
Under the action of moisture, white tea will be over-fermented, and it is easy to produce special flavors such as chocolate flavor and plum flavor.
In this process, the nutrients and taste substances in the tea have long been consumed.
It will only leave a faint tea aroma, a dull tea soup, and drinking it is equal to not drinking.
The culprit that caused all this was to open the box and ventilate.
In addition, it is inevitable that there will be odors and odors in the air, and the adsorption capacity of dry white tea is relatively strong.
Those bad tastes are easily adsorbed by tea leaves, affecting quality.
When you drink, you will get a tea soup with a peculiar smell, drinking it in your mouth will only make it difficult to swallow, and you want to spit out the tea quickly, so as not to torture your taste buds.
Opening the box and ventilating will only destroy the quality of white tea, and there will be no harm.
When you hear such nonsensical rumors, you certainly can't easily believe them, otherwise you will only suffer losses.

If you want to save high-quality white tea, in addition to not easily believing rumors, storing tea packaging is also the focus.
We usually see a lot of stored tea packaging in the market.
Let's say clay pots.
Clay pots, although beautiful, are not the best choice for storing white tea.
Some clay pots are not glazed on the surface, and have fine small pores on them, and the water molecules on the outside will creep into the inside of the white tea, affecting the quality of the tea.
In addition, the mouth of the clay pot cannot be tightly sealed for a long time, and the water molecules will enter the tea along the gap, so that its dryness does not meet the standard.
Another example is a glass jar.
Storing tea in a transparent glass jar seems to cure obsessive-compulsive disorder.
Put the white and green white tea in the jar and look good.
But good looks are its advantages, and not sealing and not avoiding light are its disadvantages.
Most of the can mouths of glass jars use rubber rings to seal the role, but in the process of use, there will be aging and wear.
After that, the sealing performance will be reduced, and water molecules will enter the inside of the tea leaves, destroying the quality.
The glass is transparent, and the sunlight can directly hit the tea leaves, which will lead to excessive oxidation of white tea.
Under the action of light and temperature, the chlorophyll in the tea will gradually decrease, and the taste substances contained in the white tea will be greatly depleted.
It can be seen that some packaging on the market is not suitable for storing white tea at all.
If you want to save a white tea, it is recommended to use a three-layer package.
The so-called three-layer packaging actually refers to aluminum bags, plastic bags and corrugated boxes with five layers of thickness.
Although these packagings may seem inconspicuous, when properly used, the effect of sealing, moisture-proof and light-avoiding is very good.
It looks mediocre, but it's practical.
Can be a good protection of white tea, from the outside environment intrusion, can be more aged more fragrant, the more aged the better.

Choose the right tea packaging, there is no luck yet.
Storing tea packaging is the key to ensuring that tea leaves are protected from external environmental interference, but if they are stored in damp and dark corners, even if the packaging is in place, there are hidden dangers.
When taking tea in normal times, water molecules and odors will quietly enter the packaging, and a little attention will lead to problems in the quality of tea.
As the saying goes, those who are close to Zhu are red, and those who are close to ink are black.
The impact of the environment on people is so great, let alone white tea?
Whether it is the growing environment or the storage environment, it has a great impact on the quality of tea.
Some time ago, a tea friend came to complain, saying that he drank oil in white tea.
Well? This is strange, the appearance of oil in white tea is definitely not normal.
When white tea has a peculiar smell, the first reaction is to store it.
In addition, there is a smell of oil, and if you think about it, it should be the improper storage location.
Later, after carefully asking the tea friends: Where are these teas stored?
She said kitchen.
Got it, solved the case. Storing white tea in the kitchen can easily get oily.
Some people think that white tea is one of the foods and is suitable for the kitchen.
As everyone knows, the kitchen is not only filled with a lot of water vapor, but also has a variety of odors.
Storing tea leaves in it is equivalent to putting tea in the depths of the water and making it an inferior tea because of the environment.
The storage environment of tea needs to meet the requirements of avoiding light, coolness, dryness, and no odor.
Avoiding light is to avoid damage to tea leaves by light, or to generate higher heat because of light, thus becoming inferior tea.
Drying, on the other hand, refers to avoiding too many water molecules in the air, which is prone to problems when opening the box to take tea.
No odor, that is to say, the tea storage environment needs to be clean and hygienic, in order to be more safe.
If the tea storage environment is wet and full of peculiar smells, it will only cause white tea to become inferior tea with the passage of time.
It is very important to save high-quality white tea, tea packaging and tea storage environment.

Sometimes, too many choices can be confusing.
Because each product has its own advantages and makes people love.
Just like a glass jar, although it is not suitable for long-term storage of tea, it looks beautiful.
Many people choose it because of its appearance and use it to store tea.
However, the disadvantages completely cover the advantages and are not suitable for storing white tea.
If you want to save white tea, you must be based on reality, not too much for granted.
For example, I heard that white tea needs ventilation to be stored as much as possible, so I did it.
In this way, it is only a matter of time before good tea becomes inferior tea.
If you want to store white tea, you need to meet the requirements of sealing, avoiding light, cooling, moisture-proof, and no odor.
Only in this way can the tea be stored better and better.
Storing tea is never difficult, just a little bit of care.
Save a good tea, the heart is happy, and the taste buds are also happy.
