Five elements teach you to tell the difference between good and bad tea

First, the appearance

Faced with a tea leaf,

The first thing to observe is the shape of the tea leaves,

The shape of a tea leaf also includes cord, color, crumbity, and clarity.

The cord of a good tea should be fat and firm,

Thin and loose are inferior;

Good quality tea should have an oily color feeling,

Especially black tea black tea,

Other than that

For some Maofeng teas,

Its unique millihair is also an important factor in judging its advantages and disadvantages;

Good quality tea will not be mixed with some crumbs;

At last

A good tea will not be adulterated with some weeds and foreign substances such as tea tree trunks.

Second, the aroma

Smelling the aroma can be done in two steps,

Step 1,

smell dry tea,

If the dry tea does not smell the tea,

Instead, it has some burnt, oily, sour and other peculiar smells,

is not good tea;

Step 2,

Smell the brewed tea,

If immersed in hot water,

The tea leaves exude a smell of burnt, oily, sour,

It must not be good tea,

secondly

Smell the tea aroma, persistence, and irritation.

A good tea should have a refreshing aroma, and it will not be dispersed for a long time, it is a good tea.

Third, the color of the soup

From the color of the soup, you can also see the advantages and disadvantages of a tea,

First of all

The tea soup is mainly clear and bright,

If the tea soup is cloudy,

It's not good tea,

It is necessary to know the tea soup of various types of tea in the six major tea categories

The colors presented are not the same.

Different types of tea soup color is also different,

Everything is clear and bright.

Fourth, tea flavor

The most important step is tea tasting,

This is the most critical step in identifying a good tea,

So what does good tea taste like?

The strength of drinking tea soup,

A good tea soup should be soft and not very exciting;

Drink the thickness of the tea soup, a good tea soup should be mellow,

It's not tasteless like clear water;

The bitterness of drinking tea,

Some teas have a hint of bitterness in the tea leaves themselves,

If it has been bitter, it must not be good tea;

Drinking the sweetness of tea soup, good tea will definitely have a sweet transformation in the mouth;

After drinking good tea, it will bring moisture, which has the effect of rejuvenating the mouth,

If the mouth is dry after drinking, it is not a good tea.

Of course, good tea will not have smoke, burnt, sour and other peculiar smells.

Fifth, leaf base

Looking at the bottom of the leaves is the last step in distinguishing the quality of tea,

Maybe many people don't pay attention to the bottom of the leaf,

Because the tea is all drunk,

I don't think it's necessary to look at the bottom of the leaves,

Not really.

We can start from the tenderness, completeness, color and other aspects of the leaf base

to judge the quality of tea.

These inconspicuous leaf bases

In fact, it also explains the advantages and disadvantages of tea to a certain extent.
