Let's talk about the collection skills of oolong tea
Oolong tea, also known as green tea, is a semi-fermented tea that sits somewhere between green and black tea and is loved for its unique aroma and taste. However, like other teas, the quality of oolong tea can change over time. Therefore, mastering the art of collecting oolong tea is essential to maintain its quality and taste.
First of all, it is necessary to choose high-quality oolong tea for collection. High-quality oolong tea usually has a high degree of fermentation, dark color, rich aroma and mellow taste. When choosing, pay attention to the appearance, aroma and taste of the tea leaves, and avoid choosing inferior or spoiled teas.
Secondly, it is necessary to master the correct storage method. The storage of oolong tea should be avoided from direct sunlight and high temperatures, so as not to affect the quality of the tea. It is recommended to store the tea leaves in a cool, dry, well-ventilated, odor-free place. If conditions permit, you can place some moisture absorbers or desiccants to keep the tea leaves dry.
Also, pay attention to the packaging of the tea. Tea packaging should not only prevent the invasion of air and odor, but also have a certain light-blocking performance. It is recommended to choose tea cans or aluminum foil bags with good sealing performance and shading for packaging. At the same time, after each tea is taken, the packaging should be sealed in time to avoid moisture or oxidation of the tea.
In addition, there are a few things to keep in mind:
1.Avoid frequent access and opening of tea leaves to reduce the chance of tea contact with air and moisture.
2.For oolong tea that needs to be stored for a long time, it is recommended to check it every once in a while, and if it is found that the tea leaves are damp or oxidized, measures should be taken to treat it in time.
3.If you notice that the tea leaves have a distinct stale or musty smell, it may be that the tea has gone bad and should not be drunk again.
4.For oolong tea that has been stored for a period of time, you can do a tea awakening before drinking, that is, soak the tea leaves in a small amount of boiling water for a while to awaken the aroma and taste of the tea leaves, and then drink them.
In conclusion, mastering the art of collecting oolong tea is the key to maintaining its quality and taste. Only by correctly selecting, storing and packaging oolong tea can it exude a richer aroma and taste in the precipitation of time. Hopefully, these tips will help you enjoy the beauty of oolong tea better.
