How much does Dayi Pu'er tea cost?
Market demand and tea quality usually determine the collection value of tea. The price of Dayi Pu'er tea is usually determined by two aspects: first, the relationship between supply and demand; second, storage conditions and time. First, regarding supply and demand, because Dayi Pu'er tea comes from Yunnan Province and is found only in Yunnan Province, and because Pu'er tea is gradually becoming a fashionable and healthy drink at home and abroad, its raw material value appears higher. Then there are its storage conditions and time. Good warehouse management produces high-quality Pu'er tea, and coupled with decades of aging time, it gives it unique commemorative or historical value. At present, the price of Dayi Pu'er tea is 85 yuan per 357 grams.
Quality characteristics of Dayi Pu'er tea
1. Dayi Pu'er (raw) tea: Made from Yunnan large-leaf sun-dried maocha as the raw material, without artificial pile fermentation, but processed, sorted and shaped into various Yunnan teas (cake tea, brick tea, tuo tea), or directly stored in loose tea form. It has a pure aroma, an orange-yellow liquor color, a rich taste with quick sweetness and salivation, and stays flavorful after many infusions.
2. Dayi Pu'er (ripe) tea: Made from Yunnan large-leaf sun-dried maocha as the raw material, using the artificial pile fermentation technology successfully developed in the 1970s. By controlling the fermentation temperature, fermentation humidity and fermentation time of the tea pile, it accelerates the fermentation process and quality transformation of Pu'er tea, and is then stored as loose tea or pressed into bricks, cakes, tuo and other forms. It has a prominent aged aroma, a red and thick liquor color, a mellow taste with a smooth mouthfeel, a long-lasting sweet aftertaste, and stays flavorful after many infusions. The longer it is stored, the mellower it becomes and the better its quality.
Drinking benefits of Dayi Pu'er tea
1. Nourishing and protecting the stomach: Dayi Pu'er tea at a suitable concentration is viscous, sweet and smooth, and mellow. After entering the human gastrointestinal tract, the film it forms attaches to the surface of the stomach, creating a protective layer for the stomach. Long-term drinking can nourish and protect the stomach.
2. Anti-inflammatory and antibacterial: Medical research experiments have proven that Yunnan Dayi Pu'er tea can inhibit bacteria. Taking strong tea liquid ten times a day can treat bacillary dysentery. This is because Yunnan large-leaf tea contains abundant tea polyphenols.
3. Cancer prevention and anti-cancer: Professors Liang Mingda and Hu Meiying used cell culture and electron microscopy methods to study the anti-cancer effects of Dayi Pu'er tea for more than ten years, and found that Dayi Pu'er tea has the strongest effect in killing cancer cells. Drinking Dayi Pu'er tea can prevent cancer.
4. Slowing aging: The substances in tea that have anti-aging effects are catechin compounds. The total amount of catechins contained in Dayi Pu'er tea is higher than in other tea tree varieties, so its anti-aging effect is better than that of other teas. At the same time, during the processing of Dayi Pu'er tea, macromolecular polysaccharides are converted into soluble monosaccharides and oligosaccharides, and vitamin C also increases several times. These substances can improve the function of the human immune system, thereby playing a role in health preservation and longevity.
5. Lowering blood lipids and reducing weight: Kunming Medical College in China conducted 55 clinical trials on Yunnan Pu'er tuo tea for the treatment of hyperlipidemia, and compared them with 31 cases treated with clofibrate, a drug with relatively good lipid-lowering effects. The therapeutic effect of Pu'er tea was higher than that of clofibrate. Long-term drinking of Pu'er tea can reduce cholesterol and glycerides, so long-term drinking can treat obesity.
6. Anti-arteriosclerosis: Drinking Dayi Pu'er tea can sometimes cause physiological effects such as vasodilation, decreased blood pressure, slowed heart rate and reduced cerebral blood flow. It has a good therapeutic effect on patients with hypertension and cerebral arteriosclerosis. If elderly people occasionally drink a pot, it can also help prolong life.
7. Strengthening teeth and protecting them: Dayi Pu'er tea contains many physiologically active ingredients and has bactericidal and disinfecting effects. Professor Cao Jin of Hunan Medical University used Pu'er tooth-strengthening tea in a test to inhibit the adhesion ability of Streptococcus mutans, and found that Pu'er tooth-strengthening tea has the effect of resisting plaque formation. Drinking more of it can also help prevent cavities.
