When it comes to the color of rose tea, many people think it should be red because the roses used for making tea are naturally red.
Many people who have tasted rose tea, some of whom are red, others green.
So what exactly is the color of rose tea? Today, let's delve into this question together! There are two types of rose tea available in the market: one is purple rose tea, and the other is pink rose tea.
Upon first glance, the colors of both are very similar. Upon closer inspection, it is evident that the color of the pink rose tea will be a bit lighter.
After being dried, the color of the roselle tea gradually fades, and the color of the tea water turns into a light red.
If the rose tea is completely dried, then after brewing, the tea water will be yellowish-green.
The color of the typical rose bud tea, rose tea, or rose tea soup generally resembles that of ordinary green tea; sometimes it slightly deepens, becoming slightly earthy yellow.
After multiple brewings, the color gradually fades away, and the aroma becomes weaker. Eventually, it turns into a colorless, flavorless substance that is indistinguishable from plain boiled water.
If the tea water you brew is red, don't worry; it may just be because the rose tea was not dried properly.
It is important to note that if the water from a rose tea brewed turns blue, it indicates that the rose tea was intentionally colored with some additives during the roasting process, and should not be consumed.
Rose tea is divided into domestic and foreign varieties according to its origin. Domestic rose teas are mostly from Shandong Pingyin, Hetian, and Jinbian, while foreign rose teas include Damascus rose, French Thousand-Leaf rose, etc.
According to the variety of roses, there are mainly rose tea with roselle red tea, rose tea with roselle green tea, rose tea with roselle black tea, rose tea with roselle nine-bend red peony.
There are common rose teas on the market such as pink and purple rose teas which are both popular.
Regardless of the type of rose, its effects and benefits are quite similar. Everyone can choose according to their preferences.
However, it is important to select high-quality rose tea that is free of any impurities or pigments.
When selecting rose tea, should we solely rely on the color of the tea after brewing to determine its quality? No way! We can also perceive the quality of rose tea through visual and olfactory senses! Let's discuss some tips for selecting rose tea.
When purchasing roses to brew them, it is advisable to choose those with bright and pure colors, complete petals, and plump fruits.
After brewing, the petals of the good rose tea are relatively intact, combined to be refreshing and sweet, with a light and natural color.
When purchasing dry rose tea, it is important to select tea leaves that are in full bloom and have a uniform color. Additionally, it is essential to choose tea leaves that are not damp.
When dampness, mold, and odor are present, do not purchase.
You can smell it with your nose, the quality of the rose tea is very good, and the fragrance is pure and rich.
If you encounter a scent that is not pure or has an odor, it is not suitable for purchase.
Pay attention to the news, do you smell something sulfurous? Many herbal teas are dried with sulfur nowadays, which is harmful to human health.
You can also weigh it. A good quality rose tea is heavy and free from any impurities, while inferior ones are light in weight.
Rose tea price varies greatly depending on the variety, quality, and origin, but the average cost for 50g is between 17-20 yuan. The price difference is not significant.
In the market, there are two kinds of rose teas which are pink and purple. Pink rose tea is more effective than purple rose tea. So it's much more expensive than purple rose tea. The price of 50 grams of pink rose tea is about 20 yuan, while the price of 50 grams of purple rose tea is only 7 yuan. The difference between the prices is more than twice.
