Natural Puerh Bulang highmountain tea garden co.,ltd. located in the southwestern of Yunnan province: Zhengwan village, Nanping town, pu’er city, which is commended as “Tea- city of China”,” The origin of the tea world” and ”The capital of pu’er”. This is such a place where the Dai people populated in with quite rich tea culture. The average elevation of it is about 1300 meters and Asian Corridor in Heaven had crosses the whole land of it.
We have self-owned organic tea garden of 166 hectares which were reclaimed from secondary forest in1998, there were no any planting history but clear and fertile land.

There are many factors that determine the price of Pu-erh tea. The location of the tea material used, the grade of the material used, the historical significance of the finished product, the year after the finished product, etc., will affect the price of the tea. Today, I will discuss in detail the factors affecting the price of Pu-erh tea.

1. The location of tea materials: Since ancient times, the tea materials of the ancient six major tea mountains have been very popular, and now, in addition to the hills of Banzhang, Yiwu and Jingmai, Iceland and Xigui are also the upstarts in Pu-erh tea. Very sought after. So the same is Pu-erh tea, but different hills have great price differences.

2, The grade of materials: generally divided into gongting, special grades and one to ten grades, the division of the grade is based on tenderness, the higher the tenderness level. For the combination of pressing tea and loose tea, it can be divided into high, medium and low grades. Pu-erh pressing tea (cakes, clams, bricks, gourds, etc.) general rule of use is: cake tea is better than gourd  tea, tuo and later is brick tea (of course, this is only the majority, can not be controversial). The higher the grade of material, the higher the price.

3. Historical significance of developing finished products: At various times, some finished products such as “conventional products”, “fixed products”, “souvenirs”, “collectibles” and “limited products” are sold, under the premise of ensuring their quality. Because they have some historical commemorative significance, and they are rarely sold, their prices should be higher.

4, the way of storage after the finished product: Pu-erh tea storage dry and wet warehouse, pure dry storage of tea can effectively guarantee the authenticity (natural) of Pu-erh tea, but the speed of aging (natural post-fermentation) is quite Slow; wet storage is the use of artificial deliberate control of humidity and temperature for rapid aging (this will greatly destroy the authenticity of Pu-erh tea), therefore, the price of Pu-erh tea stored in dry storage is higher.

5. Year after the finished product: Because the characteristics of Pu-erh tea are aged fragrant, the year has become an important factor affecting the price. The longer the year, the higher the price.

6, The geographical location of the finished product: the geographical location of the problem, because each place has a different climate, such as the difference between humidity and temperature, there are some similarities between dry and wet warehouse, so the greater the humidity, the higher the temperature The higher the place where the tea is stored, the closer it is to the wet storage. That is to say: the more the Pu-erh tea stored in these places, the lower the price.

7, The cost of sales determined by the region: the region is a cause of the product price system, such as famous mountain tea, the price is generally high. However, there are also increased transportation costs due to labor costs and inconvenient transportation, as well as the accumulation of publicity expenses, which makes the products that are not so high, when sold to consumers, the price is much higher.

8, Taobao business and personal hype credibility: Some Taobao shopkeeper in order to achieve a certain degree of credibility in a short period of time, self-selling, especially one dollar auction, less than the sale price to make their own reputation, more than the actual price Buyers make money and earn credibility.

9. There was also the economic environment and market conditions at the time: this article is also an important factor affecting prices. As far as new tea is concerned, it is generally determined by the market conditions of the year of production, closely following the economic situation, being affected and fluctuating. The magnitude is also large. For old tea, it is generally the value and price that are accumulated in time. After the tea has been deposited for many years, once again facing the market, the price may have turned several times, dozens of times or even hundreds of times. If the status is not good, old tea may be worthless.

10. Other factors: For example, the sale at a loss, there is no business that does not lose money. In the Pu-erh tea industry, there are also a lot of businesses and individuals who have lost money from sales promotion. In addition, counterfeiting is also an important factor. There are also some unscrupulous traders who use ordinary raw materials to make fake mountain tea. Of course, there are also factors such as increasing the net profit of a single item with a virtual high price.Therefore, there are many factors affecting the price of a Pu-erh tea. If the tea is good or not, you can't judge it by the price. Only you have tried and tasted it. I think that the good Pu-erh tea is the most real, except for the famous brand, maybe in the middle price. You can also find a tea that suits your taste, that is good tea for drinking.
