進(jìn)入濕季，全國各地都開始出現(xiàn)了大范圍的潮濕天，茶友們也討論最多的是濕季普洱茶防潮的問題，在這種天氣里，空氣濕度大，所以普洱茶非常容易受潮霉變，“防潮”就顯得尤為重要，再好的普洱茶如果受潮發(fā)霉，它也將一文不值。所以，普洱茶防潮刻不容緩，防潮方法動(dòng)起來……
After entering spring season, moist weather starts to appear in most parts of the country, so tea friends always discuss damp-proof problem of Pu’er tea in moist weather. Under this kind of weather, air humidity is large and Pu’er tea is easily affected with dampness and mildew, so “damp-proof” issue is especially important. Even superior Pu’er tea is affected with dampness and mildew, it will be worthless. Therefore, it’s urgent to prevent from moisture for Pu’er tea.
居住在南方的朋友，對每年濕季濕漉漉的濕季或許早已經(jīng)見怪不怪了，在年復(fù)一年與濕季的“斗爭”中，也積累了不少“戰(zhàn)斗經(jīng)驗(yàn)”了
The friends living in the south may not feel surprised at the moist weather in spring season and cultivate rich “fighting experience” through combating with moist weather year after year.

如何鑒別茶葉是否受潮
用手指捏住一小撮茶葉，如果茶葉變成碎末狀則表明受潮較輕；如果茶葉變碎并變成塊狀或條狀，表明茶葉基本受了潮；茶葉沒成碎末，而是維持原形或者變動(dòng)不大，則表明茶葉已經(jīng)完全受潮。
How to identify if the tea is damp
Pinch a handful of tea with finger. If the tea is smashed, it’s slightly damp; if the tea breaks into pieces and becomes bulk or strip, it’s basically damp; if the tea is not smashed, but maintains original shape or hardly changes, it’s completely damp.?
濕季茶葉如何防潮
茶葉一旦水分過多，其含有的物質(zhì)便會逐漸氧化霉變，因此茶葉都建議密封避光防潮存儲。而在濕氣無所不在的濕季，對不同的茶葉，應(yīng)該采取不同的防潮方法，打造“百濕不侵”的“金鐘罩”、“鐵布衫”。
How to prevent dampness for tea in moist weather
In the case of too mush moisture in tea, containing substances will gradually oxidize and get moldy, so it’s best to seal tea, keep out of sun and prevent from dampness. During moist weather with ubiquitous moisture, it’s essential to adopt different damp-proof methods for different tea to create “impenetrable defense” and “cocoon” for tea.
撬開過的茶餅存放
很多茶友都有對普洱茶集郵的習(xí)慣，也就是俗稱的片入和筒入，那撬開過的茶葉該怎么防潮呢？一般建議將普洱茶置于陶瓷缸或鐵盒中存放。在家即將要喝的普洱茶拆去包裝，整塊或用普洱刀小心將其開松成小片，用宣紙或無味吸潮的紙張包好后放入小型的陶瓷茶罐和鐵盒存放。
Store pried tea cake
Many tea friends get used to collecting Pu’er tea. Then how to keep damp-proof of tea being pried? It’s suggested to store in ceramic jar or iron box. Remove packaging of Pu’er tea to be drunk, use Pu’er tea knife to cut whole tea cake into tablet, wrap tea with Chinese art paper or tasteless and moisture-absorbing paper, then put in small ceramic jar and iron box for storage.?
家中整片整筒的普洱的存放
整餅和整桶茶葉的存放就比較嚴(yán)謹(jǐn)了，很多茶友買來的好茶都不舍得喝，有些一放就是幾年，那防潮防異味就不得不仔細(xì)了，萬一發(fā)霉了就太可惜了，不光是茶的原因，還有對茶的那份執(zhí)著的感情！先準(zhǔn)備牛皮紙（一定得無異味）將茶餅或者整筒茶用紙袋或者整張牛皮紙包裝起來，然后將包裝好的茶葉置于準(zhǔn)備好的紙箱內(nèi)，最后密封把紙箱放在干燥無異味通風(fēng)處，存放紫砂缸存放更佳。
Store whole canister of Pu’er tea
It should be rigorous to store whole tea cake and whole canister of Pu’er tea. Many friends are reluctant to drink the good tea and always store them for many years, so it should be careful to prevent from dampness and foreign odor. If they get moldy,?it will be a great pity not only because of the tea, but because of persistent passion for tea! Prepare some kraft papers without foreign odor, wrap the tea cake or whole canister of Pu’er tea with paper bag or whole piece of kraft paper. Put packaged tea in carton and seal, place the carton in dry and ventilated place without foreign odor. It’s better to store in purple-sand vat.

整件封存，存放專業(yè)普洱茶倉更佳
普洱發(fā)燒友收藏普洱整件封存，防潮防濕適度抽濕，房間放滿，離地離墻，只要注意適時(shí)關(guān)窗即可，如果把普洱存放在專業(yè)普洱倉庫更健康。需要時(shí)再取出品飲。

巧用工具控制環(huán)境溫濕度?
濕度太大時(shí)，要巧妙地借助抽濕機(jī)或空調(diào)抽濕等外界手段進(jìn)行除濕。要時(shí)刻監(jiān)測室內(nèi)的溫濕度，一個(gè)“溫濕度計(jì)”是最好的法寶。一般存茶濕度要求控制在５５％－６５％以內(nèi)，若濕度超過６５％，可用抽濕機(jī)或能除濕的空調(diào)除濕。
Skillfully Use Tools to Control Environmental Temperature and Humidity
When the humidity is too high, we should skillfully use external means such as dehumidifier or air conditioner to dehumidify. To monitor indoor temperature and humidity at all times, a "thermohygrometer" is the best magic weapon. Generally, the humidity of stored tea should be controlled within 55%-65%. If the humidity exceeds 65%, it can be dehumidified by a dehumidifier or a dehumidifying air conditioner.
干燥劑是一個(gè)很好的工具，但要選用無毒無味的品種?？捎趦Υ娌枞~的密閉空間，將木炭或竹炭置于房間的各個(gè)角落，吸去室內(nèi)水汽，起到除濕的效果。
Desiccant is a good tool, but we should choose non-toxic and tasteless varieties. It can store tea in a closed space, place charcoal or bamboo charcoal in every corner of the room, absorb indoor water vapor, and dehumidify.

陰雨天緊閉門窗?
Close doors and windows on rainy days
當(dāng)潮濕天來襲，大家千萬要記得提前緊閉家中的門窗，特別是每天的清晨和晚上，關(guān)閉朝南和東南的窗戶，隔絕窗外的濕氣。衛(wèi)生間、廚房等水汽較重的居室門也要隨時(shí)關(guān)上，以免水汽綿延到室內(nèi)其他地方。?
When wet days come, you must remember to close the doors and windows in advance, especially in the morning and evening every day, close the windows facing south and southeast, isolate the moisture outside the windows. Bathroom, kitchen and other heavy vapor doors should also be closed at any time, in order to avoid vapor stretching to other parts of the room.
潮濕季或者“回南天”期間，即使室外偶爾有陽光，也不要輕易開窗通風(fēng)。這不僅不能緩解潮濕現(xiàn)象，還可能因室內(nèi)外溫差大，貿(mào)然開窗通風(fēng)會引發(fā)室內(nèi)地面、墻體水汽凝結(jié)加重。
During wet season or "back to the south", do not open windows and ventilate easily even if there is occasional sunshine outdoors. Not only can this not alleviate the damp phenomenon, but also because of the large temperature difference between indoor and outdoor, the sudden opening of windows and ventilation will lead to the aggravation of water vapor condensation in the indoor floor and wall.
