China is the hometown of tea. From eating raw tea to cooking tea in the Tang Dynasty, minced tea in the Song Dynasty to brew tea in the Ming Dynasty, tea carries the inheritance and changes of Chinese culture. Nowadays, people's living standards are getting higher and higher. It's hard to say who doesn't prepare some tea now.
However, if you buy too much tea, it has become a big problem whether you can finish it within the shelf life. A while ago, my father said that he accidentally found the tea he bought 10 years ago at home. It was a black tea. He thought that he bought a few more cans of the promotion at that time, and he forgot that he had not finished drinking it. He had also heard people say that tea leaves are more mellow after being left for a long time. When they were opened, they didn't change much, so they just wanted to soak them and drink them.
I don’t know if I don’t brew it. The color of this tea brewing soup is dull and dull, not like the color that black tea should have at all. And there will be a strange smell coming to my nose. Drinking a small sip of tea soup is bitter and there is also a sour feeling. This is obviously the characteristic that the tea has deteriorated, and you must not drink it anymore, otherwise my stomach will be a little noisy, so I quickly asked my father to throw it away the tea.
