1. Take a look

Good roses have no impurities such as debris, and the buds are fuller. The color of natural roses is red to purple. After brewing with warm water, the color of the tea soup will turn into light yellow. If the color of the tea soup is bright red, it means that the petals have been dyed.

2. Touch it

High-quality roses of the same volume will be heavier, with many petals in the buds, tight and dry.

3. Smell it

High-quality roses have a strong aroma but are not pungent, while sulfur-smoked roses are bright in color but have a bland taste.

4. Packaged rose tea

For packaged rose tea, check whether the package is sealed. A leaky package will lose the aroma of the petals and may also be affected by moisture.

Storage method:

1. Avoid light. Exposure to sunlight can easily cause discoloration and qualitative changes in tea leaves. When tea leaves stored in white transparent glass bottles are exposed to sunlight, the small amount of water contained in them will evaporate, causing the tea leaves to become damp, turn yellow, or develop a musty smell. Therefore, the tea leaves should be stored in light-proof containers.

2. Prevent gas leakage. It is advisable to divide the tea leaves into small portions and store them separately, taking as much as you need. If stored together in large quantities and frequently opened for use, the aroma of the tea leaves will evaporate and lose flavor, and moisture in the air will enter, making the tea leaves susceptible to moisture and deterioration.

3. Avoid getting close to heat sources. Even tea leaves placed in sealed cans should not be placed next to stoves or boilers that easily generate water vapor or have heat sources to prevent fumigation by hot air and deterioration due to moisture.
