When people reach middle age, they will drink some tea more or less! After all, tea tastes good and is nutritious, so drinking it has many benefits!
However, are you really drinking the right tea? According to reports from many old tea drinkers, even if they have been drinking tea for many years, if they are not careful when buying tea, they will buy inferior tea with additives. From this point of view, if you want to drink good tea, you need to pay more attention!
made many inquiries and took stock of two common low-quality teas on the market. Remember their characteristics and be careful to identify them when buying tea in the future!
Type 1: Flavored Tea
If you encounter tea with an overly strong aroma when buying tea, you should pay attention! Because, it is probably "flavored tea" blended with flavors!
First of all, let’s talk about the origin of flavored tea! We all know that the quality of tea is related to its aroma. The aroma of good tea is generally very high, smelling natural and pleasant, and making people feel very comfortable when smelling it. As for bad tea, its fragrance is not good. If it is not a weak fragrance, you can hardly smell it; otherwise it emits a peculiar smell, which is very unpleasant! With such an opportunity, flavor blended tea was born!
Its method is: add some tea leaves that have a bad aroma due to improper preparation, or tea leaves that have lost their aroma because they have been left for too long, and mix them with essence, and shake them repeatedly evenly. At this time, flavored tea came out!
One thing everyone should know is that flavored tea is definitely bad and drinking it is harmful! How to identify
: smell it! The aroma of flavored tea is unnatural and will make you feel greasy or even uncomfortable if you smell it too much. Moreover, flavored tea is not resistant to brewing and will lose its flavor after being brewed with hot water!
Second: Dyeing Tea
Color is one of the key characteristics of tea! A good tea must have a good tea color. It may look bright and attractive, or dark and oily. In short, it all looks good.
And there is a kind of tea, which is blended with pigments, which is tea leaves pretending to be good tea! This kind of tea is the easiest to be fooled when buying it because the color is so attractive that people can’t help but want to buy it!
Really good tea, like top quality green tea! Its color can be bright green and attractive, but the tea leaves on the tea body are definitely not green, but white! Because tea is made naturally, the color of the leaves will only darken slightly as they "green", but the strands of tea will never change color! The tea leaves blended with dye are all green, even the tea leaves are green!
It can be seen that the blended dyed tea is full of pigments and should not be drunk!
How to identify dyed tea: dip your fingers in water, and then rub the dried tea repeatedly. If the color fades, it is dyed tea!
At this point, we have introduced the two common fake teas mixed with additives on the market! Please read them carefully and be sure to remember their characteristics so that you can avoid lightning with a high probability the next time you go to buy tea!
However, many friends are still worried. When I heard that tea could be faked, I would never dare to buy tea again! If you are really too worried, you might as well watch experts drinking tea and learn from them.
Experts know tea very well, and the tea they often drink must be good tea!
The following two kinds of tea are the staple teas of many old tea drinkers. They are high quality and cheap and are worth drinking!

The main producing area of Fengming Maojian is the Wumeng Mountains in Yibin City, Sichuan Province. This was a tea planting place in ancient times and gave birth to many good teas! The Wumeng Mountains are more than 1,000 meters above sea level. Tea trees grow here, which is a veritable "high mountain tea"!
all say that "high mountains produce good tea", and it is indeed true! The high altitude causes a large temperature difference between day and night in the area, and it is precisely because of this that the quality of the tea produced here is several times higher than ordinary tea!
The large temperature difference can protect the tea leaves from insect pests and keep the leaves fresh and lush without spraying pesticides.
