A few days ago, a tea friend came to ask questions.

He said, what is the strange smell of old white tea he stored?

I thought it was a common chocolate, plum flavor, etc., but I didn't expect it.

He said it was a sour mildew.

If white tea has a moldy smell, it can only indicate that it is extremely serious.

After seeing the picture sent by the tea friend, it was clear.

He stored tea and only wrapped it in a humble plastic bag and stuffed it in the carton at will.

The carton was not sealed, but just covered it.

Save tea like him, it is difficult to want white tea without deterioration.

Old white tea with excellent quality is existed with heart.

If you do n’t have to worry, you will have a strange smell, and it will be moldy and deteriorate.

For good tea, it is a waste.

Why is white tea moldy?

The main reason for the moldy mold mold is that the water content is seriously exceeded.

Normally, the water content of white tea must be less than 8.5%before the standard.

In the case of excessive water content, it will lead to severe and moldy white tea.

The water content is exceeded because the tea making process is not good.

The process of white tea is very simple, mainly withering+drying.

Both steps are the same: discharge the water inside the white tea.

When withering, it is necessary to dry the tea in a timely and thin manner to discharge its water as soon as possible.

When drying, use Wenhuo to bake slowly.

Normally, the tea making masters will discharge the water in the white tea body in a gentle form.

In the case of ensuring the moisture content, the nutrients in tea will not lose.

If the tea making process is not good, the water content of white tea will exceed the standard.

Like when withering, the white tea was not dried in time and thinly, but the white tea was stacked together to ventilate together.

It will only cause white tea accumulated in the inside to discharge water and remain in the body.

As a result, the produced white tea is therefore exceeded the standard. It is very vulnerable to moisture and deterioration anyway in the subsequent aging process.

The water points in the body will continue to react with oxygen molecules, and in severe cases, it will cause mold.

White tea is also due to improper storage.

Many people have white tea, just like the tea friend at the beginning, using simple packaging tea.

But the storage of white tea pays attention to sealing.

If there is no sealed preservation, the water vapor in the air will enter the packaging, enter the interior of the white tea, and make the white tea moisture.

When the water vapor occupies the interior of the white tea, the water content of white tea has also been seriously exceeded.

At this time, the white tea is light, and it will produce a strange smell, and it will be moldy and deteriorate.

Can I drink white tea moldy when washing?

A tea friend who came to consult before, his white tea was also moldy.

He wanted to persuade him to throw it off directly, but he didn't expect him to not die.

He asked: "Should I drink it too?"

Uh, this question, I don't know how to answer.

It's like an apple, not eating it for a long time, and moldy.

At this time, even if you wash it or cut off the moldy area, will you choose to eat?

Under normal circumstances, I believe that most people will choose to throw it directly and cut another apple again.

After all, moldy things have also deteriorated.

Cutting or cleaning can not change the result of the damage of the internal quality.

When I get to drink tea, the same is true.

Mold white tea is naturally damaged in the material.

There are even some invisible bacteria.

Even if tea washing is incomparable.

Washing tea, just brew with water once and pour it again.

Not only can it not wash the mildew, but also the bacteria produced by deterioration.

If you really drink the moldy white tea, you must have a serious odor.

The original white tea is sweet and sweet, and the mildew white tea is mildew and sour, and even feel the oral and stabbing.

Not only that, there are many bacteria that are not visible to the naked eye after mildew.

If you really drink it into your mouth, you don't know what will have a bad impact on the body.

Not only can you not drink the taste of tea soup, but also face the risk of diarrhea.

So mildew white tea, don't drink it.

Even if it is expensive white tea, you can lose it for your body.

What do I need to do if white tea is not moldy?

Under the premise of excellent quality of white tea, white tea needs to be preserved correctly.

In the case of a good tea, if the water is qualified, if there is no correct storage method, it will also be moldy during the subsequent storage process.

If you want white tea to store intact and moldy, you must choose the three -layer packaging method of insurance.

You can't choose a humble transparent plastic bag like the starting tea friends.

Transparent plastic bags do not avoid light and even have odor.

Stating white tea here will soon be tide.

Choose aluminum bags, food -grade plastic bags, and thick corrugated carton to pack white tea layers to provide a relatively safe environment for the aging of white tea.

When packaging a carton, you must "sewn".

Can't just hide it like the tea friends at the beginning.

You need to seal the gaps with a tape to achieve real pervasion.

In this way, it will not give water vapor.

After selecting the right packaging, put the white tea in a cool, light, no odor, and dry place.

During the process, pay attention to storage from the wall.

For example, there are many return to the south, and water vapor often has water vapor. If it is placed directly on the ground and leaning on the wall, it is easy to make the water vapor wet the box.

As a result, white tea stored inside is affected and moldy.

In addition, you should also pay attention not to frequently unpacks, unpack it, and take tea without wet hands.

Frequent unpacking will increase the risk of water vapor into the packaging.

The air -out -out breathable will give the water vapor opportunity.

Wet handing tea can also cause water vapor to stay directly inside the packaging.

The above three practices will accelerate the deterioration of white tea in the invisible white tea, leading to mold deterioration.

Of course, conditional tea friends can occasionally turn on the tea -stored room or wet wetting machine, and give the white tea the most comfortable storage environment.

The moldy white tea has no advantage and cannot drink.

Even after washing tea, you can't drink it.

I believe that many tea friends choose to save white tea because they want to save good tea through their own efforts.

However, saving white tea must be treated in the right way to save good tea.

If you do not store tea carefully, it will only cause white tea to be tide and even moldy.

If it is a good tea, is it a pity that the mildew is?

Therefore, when you save tea, you must treat it carefully.

It is not easy to create. If you think this article is helpful to you, please like it.
