To help you make a more informed decision, we&#8217;ve provided a few guidelines to follow:<\/p>\n<ol>\n<li>Degree of Dryness &#8211; 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.<\/li>\n<li>Shape &#8211; 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.<\/li>\n<li>Uniform and Bright Color &#8211; 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.<\/li>\n<li>Aroma &#8211; 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.<\/li>\n<li>Cleanliness &#8211; Check for impurities like dust, broken leaves, and tea stalks. Good quality tea should be free from impurities.<\/li>\n<li>Brand &#8211; A well-known brand with a long history usually adheres to consistently good practices, providing more assurance of quality.<\/li>\n<\/ol>\n<p><a href=\"http:\/\/www.teabienhk.com\/\"><u>www.teabien.com<\/u><\/a>[\/vc_column_text][\/vc_column][\/vc_row]<\/p>\n<\/div>","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"<p>[vc_row][vc_column][vc_column_text css=&#8221;&#8221; css_params=&#8221;&#8221;]Tips for buying tea When buying tea, it can be difficult to determine its quality from its dry leafy form.
