Hello everyone! I am Akai, a Pu'er tea merchant
It is said that Pu'er tea is more aged and fragrant, and even called "antiques that can be drunk", so there are many scammers who use some tea friends' pursuit of old tea and understand the relatively shallow situation, and wantonly copy and produce a lot of "fake old tea", that as a small tea merchant, Akai believes that these "fake old tea" pits can be circumvented, today is to bring you "fake old tea" to avoid pits, tea friends should remember to collect and watch, this dry goods is more!
<h1 class="pgc-h-arrow-right" data-track="3" > First of all: look at tea packaging</h1>
This point is more representative can be seen in the Hong Kong Nantian Trading Company to Menghai Tea Factory customized qizi cake tea, which is a very early customized tea
Because there was no distinction between raw and cooked on the outer packaging at that time, just a piece of paper was stuffed inside to mark the tea number, which could not be distinguished, so later the two companies discussed that a purple "heaven" word was covered on the outside of the cooked tea for identification, which was later known as "purple sky cake".
This "day" is not casually covered, because of the characteristics of this kind of Yunnan Seven Zi Cake Tea Wrapping Paper, so it is divided into two kinds of cover methods:
The word "Tian" is covered next to the word "tea" in the upper right, and this general central tea character trademark is relatively shallow and the paper is thinner;
The word "Tian" is covered on the "Export Company Yunnan" below, and the tea character trademark is deeper and the paper is thicker.
As for the rest, any red heaven, any blue heaven, or covering the "heaven" elsewhere, is all false.
In addition, there is the green tree, which is the common name of Yiwu Zhengshan tea that tea merchant Ye Binghuai has ordered to Menghai Tea Factory since 1999. Now there are actually not many on the market, some of them are about 20 years of several models, the work is relatively rough, Neifei actually has different colors, about his counterfeiting is mainly the manufacturer's printing.
The existing green trees are: 1999 Special Grade Cake Tea, 2001 Green Tree Cake Tea, 2002 Special Grade Green Tree Cake Tea, 2003 500g Tuo Tea, 2003 Green Tree Cake Tea)
The correct tea factory should be Menghai Tea Factory, but there are many fakes that will be printed into Yunnan Yiwu Tea Factory, and the real "green tree" on the packaging is the Song script, while the counterfeit ones are generally printed into the young round Song body, and the two are still very different.
<h1 class="pgc-h-arrow-right" data-track="5" > in addition to looking at the outer packaging, there is also a year that can be seen</h1>
Yunnan Pu'er tea factories because of the history, war and their own development factors, etc., but also after continuous suspension of production, resumption of production, brand change and other changes, so some teas do not exist in some years, we look at counterfeit tea can easily find flaws from these points.
We can take the famous Yang Ping in the 1960s and the Tongxing in the 1970s as examples, yang ping tea house is very famous, founded in 1912 in Yunnan Yibang. But in fact, after the founding of the People's Republic of China, the reform, so are the state-owned tea factories in the production of Pu'er tea, private processing is not, then where there is the 60s of the last century Yang Ping number appeared, a look to know that it is fake, Tongxing number is the same reason.
<h1 class="pgc-h-arrow-right" data-track="7" > in addition to the above, there are two easy to distinguish, one is the weight and the other is the attribute</h1>
Look at the tea portions
Many old tea production is only one specification, such as cultural revolution bricks, because the factory time is mainly concentrated in the Cultural Revolution period to become famous, because the special period of the time so the output is particularly small, so it made 250g specifications, the existing volume is also very small, so if you encounter 500g of Cultural Revolution bricks, then do not look, it is fake.
<h1 class="pgc-h-arrow-right" data-track="9" > look at the tea properties</h1>
Of course, there are also some old tea production only raw tea or cooked tea, such as 7542, which is the largest production of raw cakes produced by Menghai Tea Factory, and there are many counterfeits.
Today Akai for our antique tea counterfeiting pit to do a share, of course, I still hope that everyone just do a simple understanding and understanding can be, although the old tea is good, but the true and false is difficult to distinguish, and the storage requirements are also very high, improper storage is also easy to deteriorate, moldy, there are collection of old tea tea friends or careful good, of course, no matter what, I always feel that tea is still used to drink, more realistic!
