What is ration tea? Veteran tea maker: With 3 tips, novices can also choose good tea
" firewood, rice, oil, salt, soy sauce, vinegar, tea " are called the seven things to open the door. In the cold and dry winter, "tea" is naturally indispensable, so "ration tea" came into being.
Literally understood, ration tea is a kind of tea that is always available and can be drunk at any time. In the author's impression, Chinese people are the ones who know how to "get by" best. They usually believe in the principle that you get what you pay for, but they are often caught in a dilemma. On the one hand, they are worried that cheap goods will not be good, and on the other hand, they are discouraged by high prices. Therefore, many tea lovers are constantly looking for "ration tea" that balances price and quality.
So how to choose the ration tea that suits you? Before , an old tea maker said: Master 3 tips, and even a tea novice can buy a satisfactory ration tea.
(1) Observe the appearance of dry tea
If you want to judge the quality of a tea, you must first observe the color and shape of the dry tea, which is similar to antique identification. Experienced tea drinkers can make basic judgments on tea leaves at a glance, so how do they do it?
. Color: Taking green tea as an example, the color of good green tea is mostly yellow-green, emerald green, and tender green, and the color of the tea will never be dull.
- . Shape: A good tea should have an even bud shape and consistent size as a whole, so that it can be called top grade, rather than sparse and scattered, looking "sick".
- . Tea clarity: If there are too many impurities in the tea after brewing, it means that the quality is not good enough. After brewing good tea, no matter how dark the color is, it will be very clear.
(2) Smell the tea aroma
After getting a tea, first smell the aroma of dry tea, then brew it, and smell the aroma of the tea soup. No matter what kind of tea it is, as long as it is of good quality, the aroma will be pure and there will be no unpleasant burnt smell or other miscellaneous smells.
If the tea has an obvious odor, it may be caused by two aspects.
. Improper storage environment: Tea needs to be sealed and stored in a cool place, but if it is not sealed well, the tea will absorb impurities in the environment. - . Old tea or unqualified raw materials: Some unscrupulous businessmen will refurbish old tea or use low-grade raw materials to make tea, adding additives such as flavors and pigments, which will make the tea taste weird.

(3) Check the bottom of the leaf
The bottom of the leaf, as the name suggests, is the "tea residue" left in the cup after the tea is brewed. Whether a tea is good or not can be intuitively revealed from the bottom of the leaf.
The tea base of good tea is relatively fresh and powerful, and the leaves are relatively uniform and neat. However, if the color of the leaf base is dull and lifeless, and the leaf base is uneven in size and has many impurities, it can basically be judged as old tea.
The above method is a quick way to judge the quality of tea. Please don’t ignore these techniques. In addition, when buying ration tea, you should also pay attention to the origin of the tea to see if it is the core origin of tea. I hope everyone can find their own ration tea.
Let me introduce 3 kinds of tea to you. No matter in terms of quality or taste, they are all considered "first-class" . They are very suitable as ration tea. Many tea drinkers are full of praise for them after drinking them. Have you tried them?
3 "ration teas" that tea drinkers praise
There is a poem that describes the chrysanthemums in winter: "The cold chrysanthemums of Yingying come against the clear frost to accompany the yellow grass and trees in the mountains. They do not follow the other flowers in their bloom, but make their own fragrance deep in the sweetness." With the arrival of winter, the chrysanthemums standing proudly can not only bring a bright color to the cold winter, but also relieve the dry mouth caused by dryness.
As we all know, Kaifeng is the "City of Chrysanthemums", and Qingchi chrysanthemums are planted here. The temperature here is moderate, the water is relatively sufficient, and the agricultural development has a long history. The flower farmers have outstanding planting techniques. Under the influence of various factors, the excellent quality Qingchi chrysanthemum was "born".
When we drink it on a daily basis, the method is very simple. We only need to put a few Chrysanthemums in it, brew it with boiling water, and wait for the nutrients in the Chrysanthemums to slowly penetrate into the water. If you drink it regularly, it can not only replenish water and warm the body, but also bring a variety of nutrients to the body. I believe it can help everyone survive the winter smoothly.
old white tea is white tea that has been stored for many years. Known as "one year of tea, three years of medicine, seven years of treasure", it only says that during the storage process of tea, subtle changes occur inside the tea, the taste becomes more mellow, and with the coordination of various aromatic substances, the aroma of the tea becomes more and more obvious, and the nature of the tea changes from cool to mild, which is very suitable for warming in winter.
After being boiled, the old white tea will take on the color of red wine and exude a hint of sweetness. You can already feel the warmth even before you drink it.
3. Chinese traditional medicine red wolfberry
If you want to supplement the body with nutrients, wolfberry is a good choice, but you have to choose the right wolfberry. Chinese traditional Chinese medicine wolfberry is very good. It uses the freshest wolfberry and goes through multiple processes, which can not only stimulate the nutrients in the wolfberry, but also facilitate preservation.
When you want to drink, you only need to pour out a dozen plump Chinese red wolfberry, and then brew it with boiling water. After a few minutes of soaking, the carotene , vitamin , anthocyanin and other components in the wolfberry will be fully activated, "adding fuel" to the body.
Regular consumption of Chinese red wolfberry in winter is believed to bring good benefits to everyone.
