How to Choose Tieguanyin: When purchasing tieguanyin, it is important to pay special attention to avoid purchasing inferior quality products due to lack of understanding about tieguanyin or the temptation to purchase at a lower price. Here are some tips on how to choose tieguanyin.
The method of distinguishing Tieguanyin is "dry look shape" and "wet evaluation internal quality (pour water into the pot)".
1. Observing Appearance: The main observation is the appearance, color, uniformity, and aroma of the tea leaves.
Tea with a plump shape, substantial weight, and sandy-green color is characterized by its clear and pure fragrance. Teas that exhibit these features are considered to have the characteristics of Guanyin (Avalokitesvara), making them superior teas; those that lack these attributes are considered inferior teas.
2. Wet Assessment Quality: After brewing with boiling water, the tea is evaluated for its aroma, color, taste, and leaf aftertaste.
(1) Smell the fragrance: firstly, smell whether the fragrance is prominent, then distinguish the high and low, long and short, strong and weak of the fragrance.
When smelling, the method of combining hot smell, warm smell and cold smell should be adopted.
All fragrances that are prominent, fragrant, and long-lasting are considered superior.
Conversely, it is considered a substandard product.
(2) Taste the taste: Use a teaspoon to scoop up a suitable amount of tea soup into the mouth (not too much), suck and roll it in the mouth through your tongue, so that the taste cells in various parts of the mouth can make a comprehensive taste sense.
Any taste that is mellow, mellow and refreshing, thick but not astringent, and rich in the "charm" characteristics of the variety is a top grade; otherwise, it is a inferior grade.
(3) Observe the color of the tea: observe the depth, brightness, clarity, and turbidity of the tea.
Any soup that is bright and clear orange is a first-rate product; any that is dark and murky is of inferior quality.
Observing the base: After boiling tea leaves (referred to as "base" or "tea residue"), they are poured into a dish filled with clean water, and observed.
Any leaf that is soft and has a "green tip with a green belly" will be considered of superior quality; conversely, it will be deemed inferior.
The storage methods for Tie Guan Yin tea are actually quite numerous. We must pay special attention to the storage of Tie Guan Yin after use, as improper placement can lead to its spoilage or dampness. Let's take a look at the storage methods for Tie Guan Yin.
1. Modern storage methods, the effect is better is the nitrogen decompression storage method: in a closed vessel, using nitrogen to replace air, tea leaves are stored under anaerobic conditions.
Specifically, firstly, the dried tea leaves are put into a tea tin with a rimmed cover or an aluminum foil bag, then the air is removed and pure nitrogen gas is injected, finally, the seal is made.
Tea is stored in a nitrogen-filled container, which prevents the deterioration of tea components due to nitrogen.
In ambient temperatures, the quality of products can be maintained for a period of one year.
If it can be stored at a low temperature, the effect is even better.
Low temperature storage method: It prevents oxidation and deterioration of tea leaves under low temperature conditions.
The specific method is: first put the dried tea leaves (the water content of the tea leaves is less than 5%) into a well-sealed container and store them at a low temperature of less than 3 degrees Celsius.
For the storage of bulk tea, a special cold storage must be built to prevent moisture and heat insulation, and the relative humidity of the air in the storage must be maintained at about 50%.
2. For household use, a small amount of tea leaves can be stored in tins or iron pots with two-layer lids. The tea leaves should be wrapped in paper or directly placed in the tins, ensuring tight sealing to minimize air inside, which is beneficial for preserving the quality of the tea leaves.
After installation, cover it with a double-layered lid and seal the seams tightly with glue paper.
Put a second layer of nylon bag outside the tea can, fasten the bag's mouth, and put it in the refrigerator or drying machine.
Nylon Bag Storage: For nylon bag storage, select nylon bags that are non-toxic and have good sealing.
Put the tea leaves in a clean white paper bag, put it into a bag, squeeze it to let out the air inside, fasten the bag mouth, then take another nylon bag and put it on the bag outside of the tea bags, let out the air after fastening the bag mouth, put it into a dry and tasteless iron barrel for storage.
Can you drink iron-infused Camellia tea during your menstrual period? In fact, drinking a small amount of it during your menstrual period won't have any impact, but as everyone knows, this is a particularly critical phase for women. Diet during your menstrual period requires special attention, so it's not advisable to consume too much iron-infused Camellia tea during menstruation.
Let's now discuss the harm of drinking Tie Guan Yin during menstruation.
1. Causes a lot of blood loss, Tieguanyin will cause the original iron to be lost. However, a lot of blood loss is already lost during menstruation, and iron needs to be replenished to promote the blood to be produced and replenished as soon as possible. The substances in Tieguanyin contribute to the accumulation of iron. It does not help but accelerates its loss, so it is not advisable to drink Tieguanyin during menstruation.
2. Iron in Camellia sinensis may burden the gastrointestinal tract. Tannins in Camellia sinensis can hinder the absorption of iron in the body, which can cause a certain burden to the gastrointestinal tract. It is also not advisable to drink tea immediately after meals or to drink strong tea.
It does not contribute to blood replenishment and can also harm the female body.
3. Cause menstrual pain, headaches, and other symptoms such as dysmenorrhea, breast tenderness, emotional tension, and irritability during menstruation.
To avoid these situations from worsening, it is best not to drink iron cyanea, as its caffeine will make people feel excited and make the already tired body even more exhausted.
