How to distinguish the quality of tea bags？
1. Tea ingredients
Tea ingredients: broken tea or whole tea?
Don't feel like an enemy at the sight of broken tea.
The common tea bags are indeed used to crushing low-grade tea and leftover materials into small pieces and loading them into tea bags. But in these era, the development of tea chopping technology is quite complete and equipped with a complete quality evaluation system. High quality tea can also be made into broken tea！
However, in recent years, it has become a trend for tea merchants to display their use of high-quality raw materials more intuitively by placing complete leaves in tea bags. If you don't have enough confidence in judging the quality of tea, then find bags of tea with the highest possible completeness. Generally, the quality cannot be improved！
2. Tea bag quality
Look at the shapeand the material.
Generally speaking, tea bags on the market can be divided into the following categories:
According to shape, it can be divided into circular, square, double capsule W-shaped, and pyramid shaped...
The precipitation speed of circular and square tea bags is relatively slow, and the double bag shape is now a common tea bag shape on the market.
The pyramid shaped (also known as the triangular bag) is most popular among high-end tea leaves: this shape accelerates the precipitation rate of tea juice, forming a vortex like motion, and the concentration of tea soup is more uniform. The three-dimensional design also allows the tea leaves to have enough space to stretch after absorbing water.
Classified by material: Common types on the market include cotton cloth, non-woven fabric, pure wood pulp filter paper, silk, nylon, etc
No matter what material is used to test whether a tea bag is good, you only need to look at these: strong toughness, high temperature resistance for brewing, quick wetting after brewing, no leakage of tea powder, and no odor. High end tea bags prefer expensive nylon and silk, which are transparent, beautiful, and durable to brew.
Each tea bag has an independent packaging, which is also an added bonus: tea leaves are prone to moisture absorption and odor absorption, and tea bags are particularly susceptible to moisture and odor change. Therefore, if conditions permit, adding a layer of packaging would be great.
In addition, whether there is cotton thread (convenient for dragging out the tea bag and throwing it away), and whether the ingredients and brewing instructions on the hanging label are detailed also affect the overall evaluation of the tea bag.
