Fine Puerh tea, just like wine and whisky, becomes better and therefore gains value as it ages.
The best, most rare and exclusive tea appreciates faster because the prices for very small exclusive gardens keep on steadily rising at each harvest year. It’s common to see 7-12% yearly price rises (in periods of low inflation, likely to be twice as much in the current medium inflation environment.)
Legacy
It is traditional to buy at least 1 tong (6 tea cakes) and 1 cake of the best quality puerh you can find produced in the same birth year of a child. One cake is to drink at each birthday, appreciating the evolution of the tea, and the full tong is to gift to the young adult on their 18th birthday.
