Is it good tea if it smells good How to tell if tea leaves are flavored

The aroma of tea generally depends on three aspects: the tree species, processing technology and preservation method of the tea. The aroma of the tea tree variety is specific; In the later processing process, because of the different control of finishing and roasting, the aroma of some teas will be higher, but the tea taste will be low, or the tea flavor will be strong, but the aroma is not high. It depends on the original intention of the tea maker and the level of the tea master; Finally, the tea leaves are preserved, and if they are not stored well, they are easy to smell and mold, which also has a great impact on the aroma of the tea.

So, how to tell if there is added flavor in tea?

First, the fragrance of dry tea is not high, if you hold a handful of dry tea and put it under your nose to smell, the aroma is quiet and natural, then it is generally not added, on the contrary, if the fragrance of dry tea is strong and tangy, and the fragrance lingers in the nose for a long time, then the possibility of adding flavor is very high.

Second, you can rub the tea leaves with your hands, and if there will be some powder or color attached to the palm of your hand, then some additives are also added.

Third, after brewing with 70 or 80 degrees of water, the tea soup is turbid, or the aroma is very high, then the flavor is basically added. Because it is generally brewed with water above 90 degrees, the aroma and taste will be released, and most of the flavors have quickly dissolved into incense at a water temperature of 80 degrees.

Fourth, after brewing, if the aroma of each brew of tea declines quickly, and the aroma of the tea lacks change, even when brewing to the third brew, there is no aroma of tea, and it may be that flavor has been added. Because the aroma of the tea itself is generally more persistent.

Fifth, after the tea is drunk, there is no need to wash the cup, overnight, the next morning you will find that there will be a thick layer of tea stains in the teacup, if the color of the tea stains is light yellow, dark yellow, orange and other yellow-orange colors can mean that the tea does not contain any additives, on the contrary, if the tea stains show other colors such as light green, dark green, dark green, etc., it means that the tea may contain additives.

How can you tell if tea contains flavors?

Flavors are generally powdered, mist and gaseous. Powdered is an additive that is crushed and mixed into the tea leaves, such as some books mention that green teas such as Biluochun are added to green flavor powder; The mist is to spray the dissolved essence into the tea leaves; The gaseous form is to put the gas and the tea together, so that the smell is absorbed and adsorbed by the tea leaves, such as the smell of fragrant flowers.

The main ways to identify whether tea has added flavor are:

The first is to stir the tea leaves by hand, so that the palm of the hand absorbs the added flavor, looks at its color, distinguishes its taste, and determines what it is.

Second, when brewing tea, the tea soup with added flavor is thick and turbid, and the tea can smell the fragrance at the same time when brewing, and it can be distinguished from the tea soup whether it is a powder or a gas agent.

The third is to soak the bottom of the leaf and check the attachment on the bottom of the leaf.

Fourth, the use of professional objective lenses.

At present, there are some teas on the market, which smell very fragrant, but there is no tea smell when brewed, and many people suspect that this is caused by unscrupulous merchants adding flavors to the tea. So whether there is any flavor added to the tea, the talented tea artist believes that this should start with the fragrance of the tea. The aroma of tea generally depends on the tree species, processing and preservation of the tea.

Taking single fir as an example, different varieties of single fir in different regions, common fragrance types include yellow gardenia, magnolia, honey orchid, zhilan, almond, cinnamon and other floral fragrance types, and the ** cinnamon similar to Tieguanyin is a typical one with high fragrance and light taste. In the later processing process, because of the different control of finishing and roasting, the aroma of some teas will be higher, but the tea taste will be low, or the tea flavor will be strong, but the aroma is not high. It depends on the original intention of the tea maker and the level of the tea master;

Finally, the tea leaves are preserved, and if they are not stored well, they are easy to smell and mold, which also has a great impact on the fragrance of the tea, so the fragrance of new tea will generally be higher than the fragrance of old tea. The above list of talented tea artists is the characteristics of the formation of tea aroma. In addition, if the brewing method is not correct, or the water used is poor, it will also have a great impact on the aroma and taste of the tea.

So is there any tea with flavor in the market? The answer is definitely yes. This kind of tea is generally low, and it is generally produced by adding flavor and pigment to some old tea or residual tea for renovation, or poor quality tea is flavored with flavor.

Really good tea, no one will spoil its own aroma and taste with such rat droppings. Therefore, if you want to avoid drinking tea with flavors, the best way is to buy it from some big merchants or brand stores. In addition, when eating in a restaurant, drink less pre-dinner tea provided by them and try to drink it with plain water.

If you have already bought tea and want to identify whether the flavor has been added, then there are still methods, and Xinxin Tea Art will take Tieguanyin as an example to illustrate. The first point, because of the special processing technology of Tieguanyin, the fragrance of Tieguanyin in dry tea is not high, if you hold a handful of Tieguanyin and put it under the nose to smell, the aroma is quiet and natural, then it is generally not added, on the contrary, if the fragrance of dry tea is strong and tangy, and the fragrance does not disperse in the nose for a long time, then the possibility of adding flavor is very high. The second point is that you can knead the tea leaves with your hands, and if there will be some powder or color attached to the palm of your hand, then some additives are also added.

The third point is that after brewing with 80 degrees of water, the tea soup is turbid, or the aroma is very high, then the flavor is basically added. Because Tieguanyin must be brewed with water above 95 degrees, the aroma and taste will come out, and most of the flavors have quickly dissolved into incense at a water temperature of 80 degrees. Fourth, after brewing, if the aroma of each brew of tea declines quickly, and the aroma of the tea lacks change, even when brewing to the third brew, there is no aroma of tea, and it may be that the flavor is added.

But the heart will be slowly refined.

Make it a habit to drink tea.

Delicacy will also become the norm of the day.

1. Distinguish by smelling the taste of dry tea, dry tea is fragrant and natural, and generally will not be added. On the contrary, the aroma is tangy, and the taste is a bit special.

2. Touch the tea leaves, then pinch or rub them to see if they will be dyed, and the dyeing indicates that there is addition.

3. Brew with boiling water, smell the aroma of the cup lid, the aroma is elegant and natural, it is generally tea fragrance, the aroma is strong, and the taste is not present to be added carefully.

4. Continue to add water and brew to see if the tea soup is different, as well as the aroma change, you can also identify.

5. You can see the change of tea brewing aroma and the color change of tea soup, if the color does not match the color of tea, it may contain added substances.

6. Ask a professional tea appraiser to identify, or send it to a testing agency to identify whether to add flavor.

1. The aroma of dry tea is strong and tangy: the fragrance of real pure tea leaves and dry tea is relatively light, and there is only a slight fragrance if you smell it closely. If your tea comes back and opens it with a strong tea aroma, then it is likely that it has added flavor.

2. Water at low temperature can also brew a rich tea aroma: the essence can quickly dissolve the fragrance at a water temperature of 80, while the real pure tea generally needs to be brewed with more than 95 water to release its natural tea aroma and taste. The aroma of tea brewed with flavors is not only pungent, but also the tea soup is a little cloudy.

3. Observe the tea stains after the overnight brewed tea: When we finish drinking the tea, don't rush to pour out the tea leaves, you can leave the brewed tea leaves overnight and observe the color of the tea stains in the teacup. If you see that the color of the tea stains is light yellow, dark yellow, orange and other yellow-orange color differences, it means that the tea does not contain additives; On the contrary, if the tea stains in the teacup are observed to be light green, dark green, or dark green, it means that the tea leaves are likely to contain flavors or other additives.

4. Use paper towels to distinguish whether it contains flavor: with the help of the adsorption capacity of the paper, you can take a paper towel out and put the paper towel in the dry tea for an hour. Another way to take Qingchang is to use a large cup of tea, cover the mouth of the cup with a paper towel, and take it away to cool after 1 minute.

If the tea contains flavors, the pungent smell adsorbed by the paper towel will not easily dissipate.

5. The fragrance will quickly drift away during brewing and will not last: the tea leaves with flavor will be soaked out quickly during the brewing process because they are chemical ingredients added later. Generally, the first 3 bubbles have a strong aroma, but after that, they will go straight down, and the aroma will weaken all of a sudden.

Generally, the tea aroma of normal tea brewing can last until 5 8 brews, after which the tea aroma begins to weaken.

1. Smell the dry fragrance.

Because of the special processing technology of tea, the fragrance of dry tea is not high, if you hold a handful of dry tea and put it under your nose to smell, the aroma is quiet and natural, then it is generally not added; On the other hand, if the aroma of dry tea is strong and lingers in the nose for a long time, then there is a high possibility that flavor will be added.

2. Brew at low temperature and smell the fragrance.

After brewing with 80 degrees of water, the tea soup is turbid, or the aroma is very high, then it is possible that the flavor has been added. Because most of the dry tea is brewed with water above 95 degrees, the aroma and taste will come out, and most of the flavors have quickly dissolved into the fragrance at a water temperature of 80 degrees.

3. Observe the durability of tea aroma.

After brewing, if the aroma of each brew of tea declines quickly, and the aroma of the tea lacks change, or even when brewing to the third brew, there is no aroma of tea, which may be the addition of flavor.

It smells very good, but it doesn't have the aroma of tea when it is brewed, which suggests that you may have bought "flavored tea". Especially in the season when spring tea is on the market, flavor tea is more common.

How to tell if tea has added flavor? No one in the industry tells you, and few people know.

If you add flavor, just soak it in boiling water and you will know, if any. The tea leaves will look like there is a lot of tea foam. If there is not a lot of tea foam, it means that there is no flavor.
