Dozens of dollars can't buy real tea oil. Either adulteration or blending. A catty of tea oil needs several catties of camellia oleifera fruit to be squeezed out. Camellia oleifera fruit is picked by hand, which is difficult. A picker can only pick more than ten kilograms of oil a day. If 30-50 yuan a catty, the labor cost of picking a catty will account for more than half, and other processing and circulation expenses will be considered as losses. Therefore, tens of dollars a catty of tea oil is not fake oil, at least not pure tea oil. It is estimated that the content of tea oil is less than one fifth.
When I bought Xingshan Tianxia Camellia Oil, I learned two ways to distinguish between true and false Camellia Oil. You can try.
1, put some tea oil in your mouth to taste. If the taste is smooth and the throat has obvious fragrance, it is basically authentic tea oil. If you feel sour, burnt and bitter after eating raw, or have obvious odor, sticky taste and disgusting, it must be adulterated products.
2, a drop or two of oil in the palm of your hand, rubbing your hands together to make it volatilize, smell it. High quality authentic tea oil is a unique tea oil flavor and pure natural flavor.
