Brewing method

1. Tea set: You can use porcelain, pottery or glass tea sets to brew rose tea.

2. Water: The water used to make rose tea should be of good quality. Mineral water, pure water or mountain spring water are better.

3. Washing tea: When making rose tea, it is not advisable to use water that is too hot. It is generally better to rinse with boiling water that has been left for a while.

4. Drinking: Brew rose tea carefully and drink it hot.

Storage Method

1. Avoid exposure to light. Tea leaves exposed to sunlight are prone to change in color and quality. When tea leaves are stored in white transparent glass bottles and 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 must be stored in a light-proof container.

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

3. Prevent tea leaves from getting damp. The water content of tea itself is very low, but the terpenes contained in tea are highly hygroscopic. Therefore, it is advisable to use clean white cotton paper or kraft paper to pack the tea into small bags and store them in jars.

4. Avoid approaching heat sources. Even if the tea is stored in a sealed can, it should not be placed near stoves or boilers that are prone to produce water vapor or heat sources, to prevent it from being evaporated by hot air and deteriorating due to moisture.

5. Prevent odor from entering. The terpenes in tea have a strong ability to absorb odors, so when storing tea, do not store items with odors in the container, otherwise the tea will change its taste quickly. Especially do not store it in a box or cabinet with mothballs.
