Rose tea is a common drink in life. It is loved by people for its good taste and low price. So how to judge whether rose tea is good or not? What should you pay attention to when buying rose tea? The following editor will explain them one by one, hoping to help you.

How to judge the quality of rose tea

1. Take a look

Good roses have no impurities such as debris, and the buds are relatively full.

2. Touch it

High-quality roses are heavier in size, with more petals inside the buds that are tight and drier.

3. Smell it

High-quality roses have a strong but not pungent fragrance, while roses smoked with sulfur have bright colors but a bland taste.

4. Packaged rose tea

For packaged rose tea, check whether the packaging is sealed. Air-leaking packaging will not only lose the aroma of the petals but also may become damp.

5. It is normal for roses to fade

The color of rose petals is water-soluble. When the petals are soaked in water, the water-soluble substances in the petals will slowly dissolve, causing the petals to fade.

What should you pay attention to when buying rose tea?

1. From the perspective of flowering period

The best ones are of course the first stage, which is the first buds that grow during the flowering period each year. It can be said to be a large collection of nutritional essences, followed by the middle and late stages. Generally, the flowers sold in supermarkets rarely have the first stage, because the first stage is very expensive and the most nutritious, with relatively high medicinal value, so it is relatively rare in supermarkets.

2. From the perspective of fragrance

The most traditional medicinal and edible variety in China is the double red rose. The flavor of this variety after natural drying is a mixture of tea and rose scents. If it is stored in bulk, the tea scent will be stronger because the rose scent will evaporate on its own. However, after being brewed with warm water, the cells inside the flower will emit the fragrance of the rose. This kind of smell is the truly natural rose scent.

3. From the perspective of color and appearance

Because the color on roses is water-soluble, fresh flowers fade quickly. When dried flowers are brewed, as the water temperature increases, the fading speed will increase, so fading is a very normal thing. Many flowers sold on the market are added with sulfur in order to preserve them for a long time and keep the color from fading. Many consumers think that the brighter the color, the better. In fact, too bright is not good. If the petals of the receptacle are white, and the petals are bright, and the receptacle is a little yellow, then it is a flower that has been highly sulfurized. If the receptacle petals are yellowish, the petals are a little black and red, and the receptacle is green, then it is a flower that has been low sulfurized.

How to tell if rose tea has been smoked with sulfur

Smell and look; the flowers that have not been fumigated with sulfur will have purple petals and green pedicles, and smell the fragrance of flowers; while the flowers that have been fumigated with sulfur will have bright petals, yellow receptacles, and smell sour.
