Waking up tea is an art that tea lovers must know. Compressed teas such as Pu'er tea and Anhua dark tea, which are stored in warehouses for many years, need to be pried apart after purchase and stored in purple clay pots for a while. Gradually "woken up" by exposure to air and undergoing transformation, the tea will taste better than that directly pried apart.
Purple sand has good properties of avoiding light, drying, and breathability.
The excellent breathability of purple sand provides a good place for the storage and transformation of tea leaves, allowing for slow exchange between the inside and outside of the tea storage, which is precisely what tea reviving requires.
Therefore, discerning tea enthusiasts will always prepare a fine storage space to preserve their good tea.
