1. Look at the shape and color of the dry tea
Each tea leaves are selected from 10 pounds to compete to be fair, generally choose the same length, the same strip, the same color in the same batch of tea to evaluate. Dry tea evaluation focuses on tightness, color, uniformity, etc., and tea evaluators will be familiar with the characteristics of tea leaves and use special terms to judge.
Tips: To judge the quality of tea, you can look at the rope, take the best rope in each tea, compare with each other, and bad tea can not be hidden. The darker the tea, the better the tea with a shiny surface. The color of good tea leaves is basically emerald green, and the bar shape of the bud head is relatively uniform. In addition, pay special attention to whether there are old or dead leaves in the tea, if so, the quality of the tea is average.
2. Smell the dry tea
The tea critic can tell from the aroma whether the tea leaves are too old, whether there is fried burnt during the production process, and whether the freshness is enough. Each type of tea smells its own characteristics, and judging whether it is good or bad depends on the experience of tea critics.
Tips: Generally, good tea will smell a pungent fragrance, while poor quality tea will smell musty, as if it has been stewed. However, some unscrupulous merchants will add some chemical raw materials in the production process to make the color of the tea look good, and it is best to taste tea soup to prevent this situation.
3. Look at the color of the soup, smell the aroma and drink the taste
The tea evaluator also pays attention to making tea, and will grab the tea leaves in the way of a Chinese medicine practitioner and gently put them into the scale, weighing the standard 8 grams.
Why set 8 grams as the standard for a pot of tea? In fact, the same weight of brewed taste can more accurately determine the grade of tea. Tea cups are also exquisite, and white teacups can distinguish the quality of tea without disturbing. There is no step of washing the tea when evaluating tea, and after one minute of stuffiness, pour out the tea soup, see the color of the soup, smell the aroma, and drink the taste.
Tips: Golden and translucent, it is a good tea soup, refreshing and moistened throat, lips and teeth. On the contrary, the soup is cloudy in color and bitter and numb, which is not of good quality.
4. Look at the tea base
After judging the quality of the tea soup, I saw Xie Youcheng put the tea leaves in the cup to see the tea base, this process is essential, good or bad tea leaves are judged, professional tea evaluators can also judge whether there is an error in the tea making process from the tea base.
Tips: The tea base of good tea will have a little golden yellow, even if the leaf base is cooled there is no abnormality, if the tea base is found to be dark and dead red, it means that one of the 10 processes of making tea is wrong.
If the shaking is too heavy, the tea will be burned, and the temperature is too high during the finishing process will also kill the tea. Then take one of the leaves to subdivide and solve, if you can see the leaves set with "golden edge", it means that it is good tea, that is, commonly known as "golden branches and jade leaves". You can also look at the tightness of the tea base, whether the tea base is messy, etc. #Tea##Drinking Tea##Tea Culture##避坑 #
