Need help with my pu
Hi everyone,
I’ve been recently reviewing again sme of my stored pu, and I’ve noticed that some of them are worst now than when I purchased it.
I know that’s a convex curve and some pu changes to worst before turning better, but once I love one pu, there’s any way to keep it in the way it is? (with the same maduration level).
I have also read that airing the tea some days before and increasing humidity should wake up the tea (most of them taste plain).
I have heard that it can be done with foil. Is it true?
I have this trouble!
How do you store?
I’ve heard some use sealed plastic bags for each cake
To some extent I think this depends on the style you enjoy. I love the fresh fruit/straw flavors of young sheng, and it is natural for this to disappear when it ages. This change has often disappointed me when I go back to try a favorite.
Also, I used to store all my sheng in one pumidor, and found everything was tasting similar after a year or so. This is the case of locking the stable door after the horse is gone, but I now group similar teas in baggies within the pumidor. There are a dozen or so cakes that aren’t bagged to provide a “baseline” and help regulate humidity, but most of the good stuff is in baggies.
Yes, though I’m not super stringent with the “sealed”. I sometimes just fold a non-ziplock baggie and lay the end under the cake.
perfect. Then I’ll do that, as I also enjoy that fruity flavour that young shengs have.
yes, i am doing the same, for the same reasons :) I think you are lucky with the temperature in spain, but not the humidity. (it is dry there, no?)
