So far, the habit of Chinese drinking tea has been passed down for thousands of years.
After years of development, tea has derived a splendid and colorful tea culture and a variety of tea varieties from daily necessities, and also derived some counterfeiting and deception.
Today I want to talk to you about the three most common pit daddy behaviors in the tea industry, remind friends to pay attention to these matters when buying tea, and try to avoid buying products that are not equal to the price.
First, pass off non-origin tea as tea of origin.
This is one of the most common deceptive practices in the field of tea sales, not one.
There are many kinds of tea in China, and the well-known West Lake Longjing, Dongting Biluochun, Anxi Tieguanyin, Tongmuguan Jinjunmei, etc. are known as famous teas.
Most of the famous teas have a place name before it, this place name is the origin of this type of tea, and the tea produced in these places has the best taste and the best taste, and the price is naturally the most expensive.
The place name in front is like a brand of this type of tea, and only this brand of this type of tea is the best and most expensive.
With the rise in the price of famous tea and the increase in sales, the place of origin can not meet the market demand, so the area around the place of origin and even in the field will also grow and produce such tea.
Orange is orange in huainan, and orange is orange in huaibei. The soil, water quality, and climate are different in each place, and the tea grown is of course different.
Although the tea making process can be imitated, it is impossible to make up for the defects of the place of origin, so although the appearance of foreign tea and the tea of origin is almost the same, the taste and inner substances are very different, and the price is also heaven and earth.
Some merchants do not mention anything about the origin of tea when introducing tea, or pass by, and even call foreign tea the origin tea.
This is like selling loose white as Moutai, so why would the customer be deceived? Because some customers have not drunk it, and Moutai has not drunk it.
This behavior not only hurts consumers, but also deeply hurts the origin of tea.
If people think that Moutai is the smell of scattered whiteness, the answer to the consequences is self-evident.
This situation is not a hypothetical situation in the tea industry. Now some types of tea are so small and popular because the origin of tea is too small and popular, so that there is little circulation of origin tea on the market, almost all circulation products are "cottage goods".
Second, use summer and autumn tea to impersonate spring tea.
Tea is divided into spring tea, summer tea, autumn tea according to seasons, and some teas also have winter tea.
Because of temperature and light factors, most tea leaves are preferably spring tea, followed by autumn tea, and summer tea is the worst. Similarly, these three kinds of tea are also heaven and earth in terms of price.
If the summer and autumn tea is finely processed, the difference with spring tea in appearance is very small, and it is not completely indistinguishable from those who drink tea regularly. However, the price difference between summer and autumn tea and spring tea is several times, so many small white friends will be slaughtered in this regard.
Third, additive tea.
In terms of tea additives, either add pigment to make the tea color bright and bright, or add flavor to make the tea aroma fragrant, or add sugar or saccharin to cover up the bitter taste of the tea.
Among them, the illegal addition of pigments and flavors has the greatest harm to the human body, and due to the heavy blows of the state, these two acts have been nearly extinct in recent years.
But the phenomenon of sugar addition still exists, inferior tea is bitter and astringent, the strip is loose, some bad merchants in order to make the inferior tea taste not bitter or astringent, in the process of refining tea will add sugar or syrup to the tea.
In addition, the price of white sugar is much lower than the price of tea, so on the one hand, the taste and shape can be adjusted, and on the other hand, it can obtain huge profits.
Although tea sugar is not too harmful to the average tea friend, it is a loss of wallet, but the impact on diabetics is fatal.
In a few dozen days, it will be the New Year, and it is time to buy tea, I hope this article will be helpful when you buy tea.
