The society is constantly changing, our pursuit of quality of life is also constantly increasing, and for drinking tea is also our love for a better life, people from all walks of life are more fond of tea, and Tieguanyin, as a unique tea in southern Fujian, is sought after by the majority of tea lovers with its unique aroma and taste. When we first came into contact with tea, Tieguanyin believed that it sounded in our ears, so how can we judge the quality of Tieguanyin? Let's talk about it in detail.
1. Observe the appearance of tea.
High-quality Tieguanyin, the color of its dry tea should be bright green and shiny, and the cords should be neat and even. At the same time, there should be no impurities or obvious yellow leaves on the surface of high-quality Tieguanyin tea. Therefore, when buying Tieguanyin, we can preliminarily judge the quality of the tea from the appearance.
Second, smell the fragrance of tea.
Tea aroma is one of the important indicators of tea quality. High-quality Tieguanyin tea should have a strong orchid aroma and a mellow aroma. During the brewing process, high-quality Tieguanyin tea should exude a fresh and pleasant tea aroma, and the fragrance should be long-lasting. On the contrary, poor quality Tieguanyin tea may lack aroma or have a weak aroma.
3. Taste tea soup.
High-quality Tieguanyin tea should have the characteristics of mellow taste and long-lasting sweetness. During the brewing process, the tea soup of high-quality Tieguanyin should be clear and bright, and the color should be golden yellow. On the contrary, poor quality Tieguanyin tea may have a weak taste or even a bitter taste.
In general, in order to judge the quality of Tieguanyin, we need to start from three aspects: appearance, tea aroma and tea soup. Of course, this requires us to have a certain amount of tea knowledge and tasting ability. For beginners, you can choose a few reputable merchants to buy and gradually gain experience. For example, the Tieguanyin in the Anxi area is usually of better quality, while the Tieguanyin, which was picked early and made with exquisite craftsmanship, tastes better.
