Recently, the medium-term tea in the Liupao tea market is very hot, 6 to 10 years or so of Liupao tea has become a hot spot for everyone, the mid-term tea has taken over the stick of old tea, and has become a hot commodity sought after by collectors, and the heat continues to heat up!
Today, we will talk about the topic of mid-term tea.
First, the medium-term tea market conditions
The definition of medium-term tea, which is currently said to be different in the market, does not have a unified standard. However, the mainstream believes that Liupao tea, which is aged for about 6 to 10 years, can be called mid-term tea.
1. The stock is small, and the scarcity is highlighted year by year
Looking at the production of Liupao tea in the past two decades, the production of tea in the middle period is not high. Around 2013, the annual output is around 9,000 tons, and this year's output will exceed 20,000 tons, compared to the amount of medium-term tea is much less than that of new tea.
At the same time, under the influence of the price increase of new tea, middle-aged and old-aged tea has received renewed attention. However, due to the small amount of old tea, poor storage and elimination of some, coupled with many collectors are reluctant to sell, making the price of old tea difficult to find, many collectors began to focus on the mid-term tea.
It is generally believed that the mid-term tea is old tea for a few more years, so the demand has increased significantly. We see that in the medium term tea of some manufacturers, the market heat has not decreased. Over time, mid-term tea will become scarce like old tea.
2. The quality style tends to be stable
Due to the transformation of the medium-term tea after a period of transformation, the taste style tends to be stable, and the advantages and disadvantages are gradually revealed. At the same time, the green taste and craft atmosphere of the new tea are greatly reduced, and the charm of the old tea will gradually appear. These are the characteristics that collectors value.
In addition, the mid-term tea has been tested by the market for many years and has formed a certain reputation, which can play a good role in the selection of tea for the public. For high-quality, popular mid-term teas, the price is often higher than other teas of the same year.
3. The same tea is different from the warehouse, and the winner of the storage wins
Warehousing is a major factor affecting the quality of tea. After many years of aging, the storage status of the mid-term tea is easy to judge intuitively. In the case of "the same tea and different warehouse", the same number of tea, the storage will have more competitive advantage, the price will be higher.
Recently, two head companies launched mid-term new products, such as Sanhe "Hong Kong and Macao Rhyme" (aged in 2013), China Tea "Black Box 2021" (aged in 2012), these products are very popular after listing, it can be seen that everyone's love for medium-term tea, at the same time, it also further verifies the view that we have always mentioned in the micro-journal: "Lao Cang Jiuzang" will continue to become the core hot spot of Liupao Tea.
Second, the selection of mid-term tea recommendations
1. Quality is the first priority
When choosing a mid-term tea, quality must be put first. We can taste, evaluate, identify, or learn from some old tea customers and senior teachers in the industry, and slowly master the skills of judging raw materials, processes, and warehousing, help to select more accurately, and take fewer detours.
2. Pay more attention to the fine products
Some classic models, star mid-term tea, usually the public recognition is relatively high, has formed a good reputation, whether it is drinking, gifts, or collection is very good. However, this type of Liupao tea tends to be more expensive than other medium-term teas, so it needs to be measured according to its own economic strength.
3. Tap potential stocks
Different mid-term teas, its transformation will be slightly different, for example, some lightly fermented Liupao tea, although in the middle period, its quality advantages have not yet been highlighted. Therefore, we need to carefully observe and explore teas with aging potential, this kind of tea may still be in a low-lying value, there is a price advantage, in a few years, with the improvement of quality, it will surely receive new attention and become a new popular tea.
