"Chai rice oil salt sauce vinegar tea", as one of the seven things to open the door, tea is an indispensable thing in people's lives. Since ancient times, we have had the custom of drinking tea Chinese.
For the common people, this cup of hot drinks that emit a fragrance adds some interest to ordinary life. Nowadays, every household has tea leaves, especially those who love tea, and the family has hoarded a bunch of tea.
A few days ago, I saw that some tea friends asked questions, there are many tea leaves at home that have expired, but they have not yet been opened, can they still drink ah?
It is very common for tea leaves to expire, and sometimes there are too many teas to be hoarded, and they cannot be drunk for a while, and they expire unconsciously. It's a pity to throw it away, don't throw it and are afraid of drinking bad body, really sad a lot of tea friends.
Today for everyone to clarify the shelf life of tea related issues, it is recommended that you understand, especially those who like to drink tea, understand not to suffer losses, so as not to waste good tea.
►Can I still drink tea leaves when they expire?
The shelf life of tea, that is, its "best drinking period", during which the taste of tea is the best.
And expired tea, the aroma will gradually fade, the taste becomes worse, even if it is not unsealed, the quality has declined, does not have the value of drinking, so it is not recommended to drink.
However, some tea friends are very frugal, not willing to throw away expired tea leaves, if you have to drink, then drink it; However, it should be noted that once the tea leaves are moldy and spoiled, they must not be drunk again, so as not to drink mold into the body and damage the body.
►What is the shelf life of different teas?
At present, domestic tea is roughly divided into six categories, and the production process of each type of tea is different, so the shelf life is also different.
Take green tea and yellow tea, because they are all "fresh", so the shelf life is relatively short, basically about 18 months, it is best to drink as soon as possible.
The fermented black tea and oolong tea, the shelf life is a little longer, about 2-3 years, but it should not be put for a long time, otherwise the taste will be greatly reduced.
Black tea and white tea, are can be transformed in the storage process of tea, if properly preserved, can be put for 15-20 years, tea will be more and more fragrant, regardless of aroma or taste, will have a further improvement.
Seeing this, I believe that everyone has a basic understanding of the shelf life of tea. All in all, try to drink it within the shelf life of the tea leaves, so that you can drink a good tea with good aroma and taste.
However, there are more tea leaves on the market now, and the quality is uneven, and many tea friends often buy inferior tea that is "renovated" with aged tea, which is difficult to drink and wastes money. If you want to drink good tea and will not choose, you can look at the tea that connoisseurs often drink, of which this "one red and one green" has a high degree of recognition, is a natural tea without any additives, delicious and cheap.
