Fans of a hot drink, living far from the places where tea grows, are deprived of the opportunity to choose it by picking leaves from a bush. The only possibility for them is to purchase the desired drink in a regular supermarket by studying what is written on its packaging.
But the labeling of tea is so confusing that it is often compared to the study of Chinese literacy, and all this is due to the many reasons that affect the quality of tea products:
- the place of the range, which can be specified by the mountainside on which the tea bush grew;
- weather conditions prevailing at the time of harvesting;
- variety, type, jet, etc. regarding a particular tea bush;
- tea leaf collection time, accurate to the hour;
- distinctive nuances of collection and preparation.
By the way, if you choose tea for a gift or a festive one, be sure to look for special gift packaging - as a rule, manufacturers make such options. A gift can be supplemented, for example, by buying a candlestick lantern or any other cute “trinket”.
Most often, the main feature of the labeling is that the packaging does not contain exactly useful information. In addition, each country has its own marking methods, and hence its own terminology. To enjoy the quality of your favorite drink, carefully study everything that is written on the box from the name, expiration date to the label itself.
