The storage of Pu-erh is a collaboration between time and environment. "Dry storage" refers to a low-humidity, well-ventilated environment where the tea evolves slowly, with clean aromas and a bright liquor.
"Natural storage" more closely resembles the temperature and humidity of a traditional Hong Kong tea warehouse, producing a fuller, rounder cup. Carefully managed wet storage can yield deep colour and pronounced aged aromas, though musty notes require careful discernment.
Before every sale, Hongnan assesses the storage of each lot and states it transparently in the condition report.
