I wonder if everyone will often brush some so -called \"tea people\" in the short video platform?
They will face the screen, a serious science tea knowledge, like a teacher.
New tea friends who like to watch basic knowledge should stay on their videos for a while.
I don't like it, most of them will immediately brush away.
But whether you like or don't like it, you must have brushed this type of video more or less.
In the era of big data, there are too many.
Recently, the village aunt Chen received a message from a tea friend.
The other party said that he heard from a tea man that it should not be too sealed when it is stored in white tea, otherwise it will make a stuffy smell.
I was shocked and quickly answered him, of course, not.
Then, the tea friend asked again: But I remember you said before that when you store white tea, you need to ventilate!
It seems that on the issue of sealing and ventilation, the understanding of tea friends has a deviation.
As a result, we have questioned what we have proposed that the view of white tea should be appropriately ventilated.
Actually, you have to start from scratch.
Sealing is the prerequisite for depositing tea and the key.
The so -called seal refers to a measure that strictly close the objects to prevent external impurities from invading the internal internal.
Not only white tea, the storage of six major tea, you should pay attention to sealing.
When the water vapor that is ubiquitous in the outside world is absorbed by tea, it will run qi to become moisture, and then gradually deteriorate and mold.
Among them, white tea has the most stringent requirements for sealing.
The reason is very simple. Among the six major tea categories, the process of white tea is simple.
Friends who have learned about white tea should know that the main purpose of withering and drying is to make tea dry.
While letting the water discharge a large amount, it also takes away the extra bitter substances.
In the end, the tea maker spent a lot of time and mind, controlling the water content of white tea below 8.5%.
The less water in the white tea body, the better, the more dry the better.
The more dry, it means that white tea is not easy to be tide, and it can be well aged when storing it in subsequent storage.
Those like Master S are improving, often controlling the water content lower, lower than 5%, or even lower to meet the standard of exports.
In this case, it proves that white tea hates water vapor.
If it is exposed in the air, let the tea and water vapor contact with the amount of contact, and the chemical reaction occurs at all times.
Then, white tea will continue to absorb the water in the air and keep it in your body.
Over time, the water content of white tea has been high. The hard work and efforts of the tea maker at the time paid the Dongliu.
The quality of white tea will decrease.
From another perspective, the reason why the water content of white tea in the national standard is actually a strict constraint on the quality of tea.
After this category, it cannot be counted as good tea.

Secondly, sealed white tea does not have a stuffy smell.
According to personal understanding, the sullen taste refers to a dull, unpleasant, and unclean smell.
Everyone can bring the smell of mold in the basement.
Normal white tea, good quality, proper warehousing, the reason is not stuffy.
Dry tea is aging in a good environment and is not subject to excessive interference from the outside world. The tea aroma will still be dry and clean.
Therefore, without sealed white tea, it is possible to produce a stuffy flavor due to the deterioration of moisture.
But it is not ruled out that some white tea does pay attention to sealing during the storage process, but it is still harmful to the water content.
Since there are careful production, there are many crude manufacturing.
Some white tea known as \"one sun to the end\" is white, that is, only withered and not dry.
Only with the step of withering, letting the tea go water, it looks very simple, and it is in line with the pure and natural setting of white tea.
However, even if the withering time is long, it is impossible to allow the water in the tea to meet the national standard below 8.5%.
When these white tea with exceeding standards and unqualified quality, in the market, some tea friends brought them home.
When I was drinking at the beginning, due to the a lot of water, the tea soup was extraordinarily peaceful, soft, and the floral fragrance was also bright.
Once the time is over, the excess water begins to make strange, and the aroma and taste of white tea gradually go downhill.
Therefore, the industry has already reached a consensus, and white tea with high water content is not resistant to storage.
The appearing of the sullen taste is not the calamity of the seal, but it indicates that the quality of the tea was not good at the time.
Or in the process of depositing tea, other links are improperly operated, which causes white tea to produce odor and decline in quality.
To save high -quality old white tea, sealing is essential.
At present, the safer and secure way is the three -layer packaging method.
Use aluminum bags, food -grade plastic bags and standard five -layer corrugated carton, respectively to protect the white tea layer from the inside to the outside.
Not only should the internal bags be tightened with a rope, but the outer carton is four -week edges, and the tape must be tightly pasted.
In this way, we can try to isolate the interference of factors such as water vapor and odor, so that white tea can be transformed steadily, and the more fragrant.
When the white tea is stored, should it be appropriately breathable?
If you mean opening the box and removed the three -layer packaging method, which makes the white tea inside breathable, it is obviously unnecessary.
It was also mentioned earlier that white tea is afraid of wetness.
The best way to treat it is to keep it in the sealed box all the time.
breathable or something, let's avoid it.
But if it refers to the room where tea, that is, the ventilation and ventilation of the external space, it really has a certain reason.
If the room of white tea is stored, it is always closed, densely windy, and will inevitably produce some dull odors after years.
These turbid gases do not protect white tea, but may affect the purity of the tea fragrance.
Further, it will also affect the quality of white tea.
Therefore, white tea not only requires a good ecological environment when it grows, but in the storage stage, it still requires air quality.
Of course, it is not to let everyone ventilate every day, which greatly opens the window of the room.
Not even some of the tea friends understanding, letting white tea be cold at the window, and you can breathe a lot of fresh air every day.
In fact, as long as the windows of the room of the tea store, the small gap is slightly opened to allow the air to flow slightly.
This circulation can replace the dull and dirty air in the house and replace the fresh air from the outside world.
This is the request of \"ventilation\" by the village aunt Chen.
In addition, if you encounter humid weather, such as returning to Nantian, Meiyu season, etc., don't easily open the window.
The doors and windows are closed tightly to prevent water vapor from entering, ensuring the dry environment in the house, and helping the white tea well.
Wait until the sky is dry and the weather is clear, and then ventilation is not too late.
Sometimes, care cannot be excessive, nor can they ignore it at all.
Moderate care and step on the key points everywhere can make your good tea become better and better.
Otherwise, it is chaotic and counterproductive.

Tea will breathe.
But it is not the kind of breathing in everyone's imagination.
In the process of aging, white tea can still be exposed to weak oxygen even if they are sealed.
Just these oxygen is enough to make it transform well.
Sealing and ventilation are actually not contradictory at all.
Many people think that white tea has to be sealed again and ventilation, which is a contradictory statement.
Even, when it was passed, it changed.
Today, many claims about \"white tea storage should be opened and breathable\" often appear.
If the new tea friends who are unknown are listened to it, they may really do it.
The final result, do not need to know, must be deteriorating and moldy.
There is a wrong understanding, which is not blame for anyone. After all, new remarks appear every day from the media era.
But deliberately misleading the masses is wrong.
Who will be responsible in the event of a good white tea?
