Tips for buying tea

When buying tea, it can be difficult to determine its quality from its dry leafy form. To help you make a more informed decision, we’ve provided a few guidelines to follow:

  1. Degree of Dryness – The finished tea leaves should be dry, with a water content below 5%. If you pinch and crush the leaf with your thumb and forefinger and it feels soft, it may be too moist and potentially harmful to drink.
  2. Shape – Each type of tea has its own unique shape. Look for a neat and consistent shape and size of the blade, such as the round grain shape of Tie Guanyin tea.
  3. Uniform and Bright Color – Dull and uneven-colored tea leaves indicate poor quality. For example, Tie Guanyin tea should have a sand-green or dark green and bright color.
  4. Aroma – Each tea should have its own unique aroma. If the tea leaves are mixed with other leaves, you should be able to notice a difference in color and aroma.
  5. Cleanliness – Check for impurities like dust, broken leaves, and tea stalks. Good quality tea should be free from impurities.
  6. Brand – A well-known brand with a long history usually adheres to consistently good practices, providing more assurance of quality.

]]> Benefit of aged white tea https://teabien.com/en/2020/09/12/benefit-of-aged-white-tea/ Sat, 12 Sep 2020 03:50:26 +0000 https://teabienhk.com/2020/09/12/%e7%b5%a6%e8%87%aa%e5%b7%b1%e5%a4%9a%e4%b8%80%e5%80%8b%e9%81%b8%e6%93%87/ Benefit of aged white tea

Old white tea, aged for several years, is becoming increasingly popular. Studies have shown that the longer the storage year of white tea, the more significant its anti-inflammatory, hypoglycemic, and gastrointestinal conditioning effects. Additionally, the natural withering tea process of white tea is conducive to the accumulation of flavonoids, which have strong antioxidant, antibacterial, antiviral, and hypolipidemic effects. The longer the aging year, the sweeter and smoother the taste, with transformed mature jujube and medicinal aromas.

When storing white tea, it’s important to keep it moisture-proof. Cherished for decades, aged white tea has value for those who appreciate its mental strength, professional attitude, and health benefits.

]]> What tea is most suitable for you? https://teabien.com/en/2020/09/03/what-tea-is-most-suitable-for-you/ Thu, 03 Sep 2020 03:47:29 +0000 https://teabienhk.com/2020/09/03/%e7%89%b9%e5%88%a5%e7%9a%84%e8%8c%b6-%e7%b5%a6%e7%89%b9%e5%88%a5%e7%9a%84%e4%bd%a0/ What tea is most suitable for you?

“Taste is subjective, what is suitable for your palate is precious.” The taste of tea is very personal, as long as you feel it’s suitable, it is the best. High-quality tea leaves do not necessarily have to be expensive. As long as the company uses good raw materials and controls the production process, it is not difficult to find good tea for health. As for how to choose tea that suits your body type, you can refer to the Chinese medicine theory of “cold” or “warm” body types to make selections. Because the production process of tea varies, and different teas have different flavors, they also have “cold”, “warm” or “neutral” properties due to their unique production processes. You can also choose tea according to the following six major tea category attributes that match your body type.

[Green tea] belongs to non-fermented tea and has a “cold” property.

[Yellow tea] belongs to slightly fermented tea and has a “cold” property.

[White tea] belongs to lightly fermented tea and has a “cool” property.

[Oolong tea] belongs to semi-fermented tea and has a “neutral” property.

[Black tea] belongs to fully fermented tea and has a “warm” property.

[Dark tea] belongs to post-fermented tea and has a “warm” property.

Of course, each type of tea has different production processes, so the degree of nutrient retention, efficacy, and suitable drinking time are also different.

]]> Six kinds of tea https://teabien.com/en/2020/08/25/six-kinds-of-tea/ Tue, 25 Aug 2020 03:45:49 +0000 https://teabienhk.com/2020/08/25/%e5%85%ad%e5%a4%a7%e8%8c%b6%e8%91%89%e7%a8%ae%e9%a1%9e/ As an avid tea drinker, I have always preferred tea over plain water, as plain water often tastes bland or has a strange metallic taste. While I have had years of experience drinking tea and have become familiar with the names of different teas, I recently realized that I didn’t really understand the different classifications of tea. That’s why I sought out some experts to learn more.

In China, tea is categorized into six main types based on the level of fermentation, which affects the aroma and flavor of the tea:

  1. Black tea: Black tea is fully fermented and is the most widely consumed type of tea. It is believed to have originated from Fujian province and was later introduced to Europe and other parts of the world.
  2. Green tea: Green tea is non-fermented and is known for its fresh and delicate flavor. It is the second most widely consumed type of tea after black tea and is represented by famous teas such as Longjing and Biluochun.
  3. Oolong tea: Oolong tea is semi-fermented and has the most diverse and rich flavor profile. It originated in Fujian province and different production methods have created different classic flavors, such as Wuyi Rock Tea, Phoenix Single Bush, and Anxi Tie Guan Yin.
  4. White tea: White tea is lightly fermented and has a sweet and refreshing taste. It retains the most nutrients with the least amount of processing. White tea originated in Fujian province and only China produces white tea. The most famous types of white tea are Bai Hao YinZhen (Silver needle white tea), Bai Mu Dan (White Peony), Gong Mei, and Shou Mei
  5. Yellow tea: Yellow tea is slightly fermented and has a sweet and mellow taste. After the tea leaves are killed, they undergo a process of “moist yellowing” in a warm and humid environment without enzymatic oxidation. Famous yellow teas include Junshan Silver Needle and Mengding Yellow Bud.
  6. Dark tea: Dark tea is post-fermented and is represented by teas such as Yunnan Pu-erh or Anhua Heicha. Pu-erh tea can be further divided into raw and ripe Pu-erh tea. After aging, dark tea develops unique flavors and aromas.
While these six categories summarize the types of teas available on the market, the unique production methods and characteristics of tea from different regions and producers lead to a wide variety of flavors and benefits. Each tea has its own unique features and health benefits, which make the tea market vibrant and diverse.

In China, “Tea” and “Cha” are both used, depending on the region and mode of transportation.
