Liu Bao Tea is best enjoyed aged, with the flavor improving over time. For this reason, many people do not rush to drink it after purchase but choose to store it instead.

When storing Liu Bao tea at home, it is important to pay attention to the storage conditions to ensure that the tea develops a richer and more mellow flavor. It's worth noting that this type of tea should not be stored in an airtight container; it needs some air circulation. Teas wrapped in cotton paper, rice paper, or kraft paper can be unwrapped slightly and placed in Ceramic or earthenware jars. The jar lid should not be sealed tightly but left slightly open to allow for air circulation. If the tea has a warehouse smell, you can expose it directly to the air, and wait until the smell dissipates before storing it.

If your Liu Bao tea has been stored for a long time and you need to get rid of any warehouse smell, the best time is during October and November when natural winds can help. North winds are dry and beneficial for dispersing the warehouse smell. If you need to disperse the smell at other times, choose a non-rainy day and use a fan on a low setting, making sure not to expose the tea to direct sunlight.
In addition, Liu Bao tea should be stored away from the kitchen and places with strong odors, as tea is highly absorbent and can easily pick up unwanted flavors.
For Liu Bao tea that has been stored for a certain period and tastes “tight” or “astringent” upon drinking, large pieces can be broken apart or loose leaves spread out. This will allow the tea to naturally “revive,” and its flavor and aroma will return.
