1.Is the shape of the tea related to the quality?
The shape of the tea does not directly determine its quality. Although the shape of some tea leaves may vary depending on the production process, the quality mainly depends on the origin, variety, production process, storage conditions and other factors of the tea. Therefore, we cannot judge the quality of tea leaves based solely on their shape.
Is there a limit to the number of times tea can be brewed?
Generally, green tea can be brewed around 3-4 times, while black tea can be brewed 5-6 times. However, the exact number of brews depends on the quality of the tea and personal taste. If the quality of the tea is good, or the personal taste likes a strong tea taste, the number of brewing can be appropriately reduced; On the contrary, if the quality of the tea is average, or the personal taste likes the light tea taste, you can increase the brewing frequency appropriately.
How is the shelf life of tea determined?
The shelf life of tea is determined according to the law of quality change of tea. Generally speaking, the shelf life of green tea is about 1 year, and the shelf life of black tea is about 2-3 years. However, this shelf life is not absolute, and if the storage conditions are better and the tea is of higher quality, the shelf life may be longer. Conversely, if the storage conditions are poor, the tea is of lower quality and the shelf life may be shorter.
Why are some teas expensive?
There are many reasons why some teas are expensive, and some of these factors include origin, variety, production process, vintage, etc. In addition, some rare, precious teas can also be expensive. However, expensive tea is not necessarily of better quality, we need to choose the right tea according to our own taste and needs.
