Pu' er tea is not always old and good in texture, and it only increases in value after being stored for a long time.

In recent years, Pu 'er tea has been selling like a rainbow in Beijing. In teahouses, the click-through rate of Pu 'er tea is increasing day by day, and those who sell Pu 'er tea in maliandao and other tea wholesale markets are next to each other. Experts pointed out that at present, the construction of Pu 'er tea industry standard system is not perfect, and friends who want to invest in Pu 'er tea should be cautious and look for QS anti-counterfeiting marks when purchasing.

Market observation:

Pu 'er tea rose by nearly 80%

At the beginning of the new year, the hot speculation of Pu 'er tea is blowing again, and the market price is also floating all the way. It is said that even the raw Pu 'er tea, which was newly listed in October 2006, rose to 1,600 yuan from the original one (30 kg) in 900 yuan, an increase of nearly 80%, and the good news almost matched the bull market fund.

In Wu Yutai on Wangfujing Street, the reporter saw that the price of a purple barreled Pu 'er tea rose from 16 yuan to 25 yuan in the past. The cheapest seven-cake also needs one from 45 yuan.

Reporter's investigation:

A tea cake can sell for ten thousand yuan.

From tens of yuan per cake to thousands of yuan per cake, the value of Pu 'er tea is completely unknown in both tea shops and tea wholesale markets. At the auction, a Pu 'er tea cake sold for 10,000 yuan.

"This 50 yuan is a cake." A shopkeeper in maliandao Tea City said that the cheapest tea cake here is this price. If you give it away, you usually choose a hundred yuan. The sales staff of another store said that many Beijing customers can only judge the quality of tea according to the price of tea when buying Pu 'er tea, in fact, the quality of some products is similar.

These Pu 'er teas, which used to be just drinks, are also becoming people's investment tools. A department manager of an insurance company is keen on this. He told reporters that a piece of Pu 'er tea can be stored for decades or even generations, and its value can be multiplied by dozens or hundreds of times. Some people who collect aged Pu 'er tea also told reporters that Pu 'er tea tastes better the longer it is stored. Many people don't use Pu 'er tea as a drink, but as an antique collection, so taking out any old tea and telling a story can often sell at a high price. No matter how high the price of Pu 'er tea is now, as soon as new tea comes on the market every year, the old tea market that can't be sold still rises by about 20%-30% every year.

"There is a big misunderstanding about the collection of Pu 'er tea, and the tea with good quality will only increase in value after being hidden for a long time." Mr. Zhang, who is engaged in Pu 'er tea business, said.

Experts remind:

Investing in Pu 'er tea is risky.

According to experts, it is also risky to collect Pu 'er tea. First, we should choose the origin and raw materials and solve the Fang Chen problem. Many merchants boast that their Pu 'er tea is old, so its price is high. In fact, Pu 'er tea is not more valuable the longer it is preserved. The year is only a part of measuring the price, and the grade of raw materials, the place of origin and the processing method are also judging criteria.

In the interview, the reporter found that the construction of the standard system of Pu 'er tea industry is not perfect at present. There are no standards for the different processes of dry storage and wet storage, and the identification of old tea. The factory time is unknown, and the quality is left to businessmen.
