How to buy authentic West Lake Longjing tea?

Now many people, at least 99%, simply can not buy authentic West Lake Longjing.

There are differences between real and fake, but they are very subtle. It is impossible to drink out without making comparisons, even if it is what various tea masters, can not!

Interests: my family sells tea, open store, into the goods to engage in goods for many years (hands-on for more than 30 years)

There are several major tea producing regions in the country, all of which have Longjing. That is, the tea produced can be made to look like Longjing, and the taste is not much different. West Lake on those few small hills, that little production, please ask how to buy? The following gives you a list of many of the current bright surface like you can buy authentic tea, the actual dark examples of what you want to take for granted!

1. Tea factory, tea farmers direct sales.
   Tea farmers are only responsible for planting tea, picking tea. Tea picking is to hire people to pick. All the fresh leaves of the tea, purchased by the tea factory, made into finished tea.
   Question 1: How can a tea farmer go out and open a store to sell tea?
   Question two: How can a tea farmer open a store online to sell tea? Old farmers who know how to grow tea, simply will not go out to sell tea, because the income from just growing tea can still be. And, does not know anything about the Internet. Besides, the tea farmers will grow tea, but for how to go to the batch production. Can you understand? The amount of tea farmers simply can not stand to sell!
2. Tea factory is the most likely to go to the online store to open the tea, however. To West Lake Longjing, for example, a local tea factory in West Lake, will certainly produce authentic West Lake Longjing. Good, send the leaders you know; second, wholesale out to sell. Of course, this wave of operation in the Qingming tea listing is engaged in the end. And demand exceeds supply! Authentic will be wholesale to familiar with the big old customers. For casual customers! It is the kind of tea factory to run specifically to buy tea. People who think they can buy both cheap and authentic tea! Then congratulations, sorry. You go to the tea factory to buy tea? Do you know how to do that? You have a wholesaler of tea know? So many customers come to my store and say I buy tea from which tea factory and how much better it is. A slight smile.
   Most of the tea factories in West Lake Longjing will sell the authentic ones to wholesalers who are familiar with them, as well as give them away. Then, from the foreign hills to get the tea, also when the authentic West Lake Longjing sold to the uninitiated tea merchants and casual customers! In fact, many tea merchants who know how to do this will not go to the West Lake side of the tea factory to get Longjing, because the price is high, but also not really. Only many casual customers will go. Buy is the mood, the key honey confidence. This wave of operation is the same as Yangcheng Lake hairy crab, other places of hairy crab to Yangcheng Lake over the water is the authentic Yangcheng Lake hairy crab. Put on the tea, the same reason.
3. buy tea does not recognize the owner!
   If you do not know tea, go to the store casually a few dozen dollars to buy and drink nothing, at most is the tea put in cold storage for a few years, drinking are no problem. If you really want to drink for a long time, and or want to buy to send people, send people who know tea. Then please go to the store, watch the boss take out the tea from the cold storage, try the taste, confirm the budget, and cut the price by about 20%. It’s OK. This is the right, and clear operation! And you can always buy the tea you have drunk in the past. The same store, the owner of the tea store will help you control the quality of tea, at least, people understand what kind of tea in what kind of market, and you, at most, is to pay the owner’s hard earned money, which is also the owner should earn.
   Of course, the same tea prices do not vary much, the general chain store tea is generally more expensive than the couple tea store, because others have costs. As far as possible, choose the old store, broken, the store has a cold storage, open for a long time store. Generally near the community will be more, the majority of the owner’s age in 35-65, generally this age dry tea, is basically very knowledgeable. Young people’s tea store, unless it is the owner’s son opened. Hahaha
4. the pursuit of famous tea the more famous tea, the less the amount.
   What big red robe, West Lake Longjing. These are simply in short supply, the authentic may not find the entire tea market! So many marketing numbers say their home is selling authentic, teach you to distinguish, are rip! They are selling fake goods, why pretend? You might as well be bold enough to mark down your home “West Lake Longjing” grade and selling price on the line.
   Sometimes the fake Longjing taste better than the real! It is not true that it is necessarily good! And the price has nothing to do with it! Unless you personally see the tea picked from the mountain, see with your own eyes to send the machine to do. Otherwise it is impossible to be true! So, do not need to pursue the famous tea, which will make you spend a lot of money in vain.
5. Network to buy tea.
   Take the platform as an example, most of the platform stores, are relying on the volume. Because the poorly run tea factory, will produce some bad quality tea, this part of the tea, tea wholesalers are not going to want. So a lot of inventory. Mainly rely on the network low price to go in quantity. For these teas, also called West Lake Longjing, drink, no problem, well preserved will not have any problems, but do not exclude the preservation can not. For example, tea leaves away from the color, odor and so on.
   For the tea factory, these teas, sold is money, not sold nothing! So the profit you know. Can only be put on the network platform to sell. Supermarkets will also sell a little on behalf of, most of them are selling packaging. Normal tea store if you sell this tea. I estimate that this is almost finished. Wuhu, for example, Wuhu City, the number of tea stores now at least 4 digits, so in Wuhu this market environment, tea stores can only low prices, go for more old customers.
   Tea will not be expensive, and will not be poor. Tea does not work, rest assured that it will not be open for long. You look at those small streets and alleys of the rundown tea store, in fact, people old customers can not fight away! It is because, quality
6. trademark anti-counterfeiting
7. This is not much to say, my home drawer has a bunch. All are given by the tea factory. The tea leaves are loaded and pasted on it.
8. Ah? You ask what tea is packed inside? West Lake Longjing ah!

The tea market is amazing
The following are cases of communication between old tea merchants:

1. several tea stores in a district of Nanjing, only sell fake Anji white tea produced in Songyang, because local customers feel that Songyang white tea is the authentic Anji white tea. So over there, you sell authentic Anji white tea instead of no one wants 。。。。。
2. Anhui a place, a store selling authentic Dingxi Lanxiang, customers said you this fake. Subsequently the store only sell fake Dingxi Lanxiang, profit boost!
3. a place in Sichuan, high tea production. Local production: Suzhou Biluochun, West Lake Longjing, bamboo leaf green, Nanjing rain tea. The price is low, the tea is good, and the customer repurchase rate is large.
   You say the authentic West Lake Longjing a catty sold more than 2000, who can afford to drink. Afraid that any part of the country can not afford to eat. So, buy tea do not go overboard to be sure what is authentic or not, so that you can only spend money in vain. And buy is not really. As long as you like to drink, the price is within the range of affordability, you can.
