Over time, the aromatic substances and nutrients in the tea leaves will gradually dissipate, but pressing the tea leaves into balls can slow down this process by reducing the surface area of the tea leaves exposed to air, thus lowering the oxidation rate. As a result, even if the tea leaves are stored for a longer period of time, they can still maintain their original flavor and texture. Furthermore, the pressed balls of tea leaves are more convenient for transportation and storage, as they can reduce the likelihood of breakage and deformation, and are also easier to carry.
