The price of Puerh Tea is hiking. From origin place Yunnan to distribution centre Guangdong unto rising markets Shanghai and Guangxi, the price of Puerh Tea is hiking successively, and there is no evidence to show a suspend. As for the reasons of price increasing, there are various opinions.
Some people believe that too many dealers assemble in Yunnan to buy while the output of raw material is limited, certainly causing its price going up in right ascension and so the price of Puerh Tea products. Some people hold that many Zhujiang Delta collectors purchase and regrate Puerh Tea in large amount for its specific character longer storage more fragrant. Meanwhile a few bankers are operating, which results in striking jump of Puerh Tea price different every day.
Other people think that in the last two years the local government and manufacturer of production have hammered out effective promotion projects with successive impression and popularity of Puerh Tea to publicity. So, a great number of consumers are attracted to buy and try, and the consuming group of Puerh Tea is extending rapidly.
On the point of view of economics, when supply is larger than demand, the price is going to fall; when demand is larger than supply, the price is going to rise. The reason for price rising of Puerh Tea is within this economic rule. However, there are more questions under the event. Now that the reason for price rising of Puerh Tea is due to the prompt increase of demand while product yield has not been promoted adequately, then why is there such a quick increase of demand? If this demand is actual and consuming, or just some other element effecting? We must recognize the real value of Puerh Tea before answering those questions.
Puerh Tea is widely regarded as a collecting article with collecting value and long-term increasing potential for its specific character longer storage more fragrant. However, a lot of people have neglected this prime value drinking, while focus too much attention on its characters as collection item. The original attribute of Puerh Tea is drinking, which is consumable. Even the collection value is based on its drinking value. The taste of Puerh Tea will be better after a period of storage; therefore its value is promoted than the initial period of production.Drinking is the only way to make its taste value come true.
Collection is an approach nothing more than Puerh Tea value promotion, never the way to realize the value.Consequently, the consumption options of Puerh Tea can be classified into two generally: first, collection, which is favored by consumers who have the economy power and investing foresight. They focus on its increasing potential of value for the exchange of profits. Second, consumption, which is the choice of more and more people joining to enjoy Puerh Tea for its widely accepted multi remedy functions.The quick direct consumption of Puerh Tea reflects its popularity on quality and taste while brings its drinking value into play instantly.
However, collection is a technique to improve its quality and can't completely reflect the really status of consumer market. Moreover, this technologic process faces not only the risk of collecting skills, but also the influence by macroeconomic environment. Therefore it is a game for the people with higher anti-risk ability.The price of Puerh Tea is hiking, result of common function of material and consumer markets.
The price rising interprets the return of its true value. Meanwhile, we cannot neglect some short-term operations, which lead to market fluctuate too much and impact the trust of consumers. Dealers of Puerh Tea should make a right decision in business.
