Is it true why Lishan tea costs 400 yuan per jin? Is the price of Lishan tea really that low?

As a matter of fact, the price of Lishan tea is unlikely to be only 400 yuan per catty. Even summer and autumn tea has never been sold for 400 yuan a jin.

In the spring of 2013, the price around the mountain tribe at 1700 meters above sea level is about 1600 yuan, which is the wholesale price of 30 jin at a time. Even if it is not spring tea, the price of Lishan autumn tea is more than 1000 yuan, and winter tea is even 30% more expensive than spring tea.

The elevation near the ▲ Huanshan tribe is 1600 to 1700m, and the price of Lishan tea here is about 1600 yuan.

With regard to the current situation of the Lishan tea area, it is not only tea merchants in Taiwan who are snapping up, but also in the mainland, Hong Kong, Macao and Japan. The truth is that many teas are booked by experts before they are ready. Less than half of the rest were sold out within a month. For example, the tea at the farm in the spring of 2013 was sold out before it was harvested, causing me to make a wasted trip. The online auctioneer said that the tea was not sold out last season, but I don't think it is likely.

▲ Lishan highest Tianchi tea area, tea per jin of ten thousand yuan, still can not buy.

The biggest suspicion is the price. The price of Lishan tea is 400 yuan. This kind of selling price is not even enough for the cost of buying tea cyanine. It also requires upside down fertilizer, renting venues, hiring tea makers, and transportation costs. No tea maker in the world should be so generous.

Finally, tea avoid dampness, steaming depression, like dry and cool, please put it in a ventilated place. When taking tea from the jar, it is best to use a teaspoon to avoid grasping the tea with your hands, because the hands often have sweat or other unclean smell, which is easy to affect the original taste of the tea.

If the vacuum packaging is well preserved, the tea can actually be stored for a long time. If the vacuum package shows no signs of damage and no exposure to the sun or high temperature, the tea is drinkable.
