In the traditional Chinese tea culture, flower tea is deeply loved by people for its unique aroma and health effects. However, in the market, we often come across some similar varieties of flower tea, such as rose tea and moon season flower tea, which are quite similar in appearance and aroma, making it difficult to distinguish. Today, we will teach you how to distinguish these two kinds of flower tea, so that you will no longer have difficulties when tasting tea!
First, the slight differences in appearance
First, let's start with the most intuitive look. Although both roses and moons are both gorgeous when they are in full bloom, a closer look reveals the differences.
1. Flower petals
The petals of roses are denser and have more layers, giving them a thick and compact feeling; On the other hand, the petals of the moon season are relatively loose, with fewer layers, and the shape is more stretched and natural.
2. Flower type
The flowers of roses are usually fuller and rounder, while the flowers of the moon are varied, ranging from cup-shaped to disc-shaped, with sometimes wavy edges.
3. Color
While both have a rich range of colors, roses tend to be more crimson, pink, or white, while moons have a wider range of colors, even rare colors such as yellow, green, and more.
2. Identification of aroma
If the difference in appearance needs to be carefully observed, then aroma is a more direct way to distinguish the two.
1. Rose tea
Its aroma is intense and persistent, with a characteristic sweet fragrance and an intoxicating romantic atmosphere. High-quality rose tea, after brewing, the whole room will be filled with a rich rose fragrance.
2. Flower tea
In contrast, the aroma of Yueji Flower Tea is more fresh and elegant, with a hint of fresh herbaceous fragrance, not as strong as roses, but a little more tranquil and long.
3. The taste experience
Tasting is a crucial step in distinguishing between the two. Different flower teas bring very different feelings to the taste buds.
1. Rose tea
In the mouth, rose tea often has a slight sweetness, accompanied by a hint of astringency, and a long aftertaste, as if the aroma of roses blooms in the mouth.
2. Flower tea
The taste of Yueji Flower Tea is more refreshing, with a hint of bitterness, and then turns sweet, giving people a refreshing feeling, which is perfect for relieving fatigue in the afternoon.
Fourth, efficacy and use
Knowing how they look, smell and taste, we can't ignore their unique health benefits.
1. Rose tea
Drinking rose tea often helps to regulate endocrine, beautify and relieve fatigue, especially suitable for women, and can effectively help improve menstrual discomfort.
2. Flower tea
Yueji flower tea is better at soothing the liver and relieving depression, invigorating blood and regulating menstruation, and has a certain conditioning effect on mood swings and menstrual irregularities, which is also loved by women.
5. Buying tips
Finally, to ensure that you are buying an authentic rose or moon flower tea, there are a few tips worth sharing:
1. Check the place of origin
High-quality rose tea is mostly produced in Pingyin, Shandong and other places, while Yueji flower tea also has its specific high-quality production area.
