So

made it very easier to buy tea but things can always get a little tricky. In
case of offline shopping, you can smell, touch and see tea before you buy, but
you are relying on reviews and images in the world of eCommerce. Today, Tea suppliersin India, are selling their teas across the world including USA. There are
still ways to tell if your premium loose leaf tea is premium or not.
Must
understand the tea and its flavour
You
need to understand how the tea is supposed to look and smell before you get
down to judging your purchase. Apart from this, you must know what colour the
leaves should be. If you are purchasing from one of many online tea shops then
must read reviews. Also, understand what to expect when you open your tea
parcel.
Look
for size
Keep
in mind that smaller leaves brew faster than the bigger ones. Also longer
brewing times can release some astringency that can be unpleasant at times. You
want the leaves to be of a consistent size. Remember, inconsistency in size can
lead to be a bad brew. As a matter of fact if there is inconsistency, your
premium loose leaf tea is not high quality. When buying online, you must look
at the images of the tea and see if you can spot any inconsistencies.
Small
tea leaf
You
should small the tea bags as soon as you get your shipment. The leaves must
smell fresh and light. Also, if the aroma is strong than there is a chance that
the seller is using some type of perfume to boost the smell of tea leaves. You
must avoid such tea sellers at all costs.
Taste
it
In
judging the premium loose leaf tea, you must taste it. The aftertaste must be
sweet with notes of what is supposed to be. For instance- Darjeeling tea is
supposed to be slightly nutty in flavour. The tea could be that the variety is
old, and the oils have dried out if the tea is weak in terms of flavour. You
must ask for a replacement in such cases.
