How do I choose a high quality green tea?
There are several signs by which it is easy to determine high-quality varietal tea by the organoleptic method. These are:
- Uniform sheet mass of the same color, dry, crumbly, with a slight pleasant floral-herbal aroma.
- The presence of light lint on the tea leaf.
- A twisted sheet that breaks rather than turning to dust when rubbed between your fingers.
- No tea dust, broken leaves, foreign litter and impurities in the mixture.

When brewing, whole-leaf green tea unfolds from a twisted state and takes on the original appearance of a leaf, not its fragments!
Like any other tea, green is sensitive to sunlight and an abundance of oxygen, so if you buy a hanging brew, be sure to note what it is implemented in.
Tea in transparent glass or, moreover, plastic jars almost instantly loses its entire bouquet.
It is better to buy packaged natural tea from trusted suppliers that guarantee the quality of the product.
Dates on packaging
Be sure to include complete tea information on the package.
If it is an expensive quality product, then the buyer will see two dates: the collection date and the packaging date & ndash; both are important for product quality.
Since green tea refers to unfermented teas, the fresher the collection, the tastier, more aromatic and healthier it is.
Spring fees are characterized by subtle exquisite bouquets of tastes and aromas, for summer & ndash; rich and dense tastes, and autumn ones are distinguished by a weak aroma and notes of mustard in taste. Early harvests are valued above late harvests.
Tea labeling
Black tea is usually labeled, but some use the classification for the quality and integrity of the leaf and for green tea.
Tea brewing & nbsp; can be made from whole, medium and small sheet raw materials. Of course, a whole large leaf is most appreciated, preferably with an unopened kidney & ndash; these flushes have the brightest flavors.
Expert Opinion
According to the international tea classification, good quality tea will have the letters FOP in its labeling. They mean Flowery Orange Pekoe, which is interpreted as tea from young leaves with tipsy. Additional letters to FOP only improve product quality.
Presence of B & ndash; broken and D & ndash; dust reports average tea quality.
