Choose a good rose tea according to the standard of rose bud.
Standard for picking flower buds: the best time for picking is before the calyx tip is slightly open, the bud tip is red and the bud is ready to release. The standard of picking is buds that are fully unfolded but not open.
Selection criteria of flower buds: flower buds need to be classified and stored according to varieties, and mixed storage is prohibited, and they need to be carefully selected to achieve impurity-free, semi-open flower buds or fully open flowers and weak buds.
Also pay attention to the color buds, which are dried with sulfur. If there are many big buds, slightly open buds, or open buds, or bright buds, and the receptacle calyx is very green, this rose tea is likely to have quality problems!
Timing: The first flower bud was the best. The first flower bud refers to the first flower bud that grows in the flowering period in May every year. Most of the nutrition and essence of a year are spent on this first flower, followed by the middle one, and the last one is the least nutritious! It is difficult for supermarkets and tea shops to buy the first flower bud, and the cost of the first flower is higher. Therefore, the first bud every year is the most nutritious and medicinal value.
Fragrance type: Different roses have different fragrance types. The most traditional edible and medicinal variety of Chinese rose is double red rose. The taste of natural dried rose buds is a mixture of tea fragrance and rose fragrance. If it is in bulk, the tea fragrance will be stronger, because the rose flavor will naturally volatilize, and the natural noodle fragrance has been volatilized for a long time. The rose fragrance contained in the group cells of roses will slowly float out after soaking in hot water. This is the real pure natural rose fragrance! If the rose tea you bought always smells like perfume, there is a problem! It is estimated that artificial spices and other chemicals have been added.
The most important standard of medicinal effect: buy rose tea, buy varieties that can be eaten frequently and have medicinal value. According to the introduction of Agricultural Network, the medicinal rose variety is China Luzhou-flavor red rose, and Xinrantang Xin Ran Rose Tea belongs to this type of rose. Its quality has been proved by research institutions and experts and hundreds of years of edible history, and it can be eaten for a long time!
To mix well and drink the right formula (this requires the guidance of experienced personnel);
Pregnant women should not drink alcohol, drink less or not during menstruation (depending on the specific situation), and consult doctors with caution in severe cases;
Rose tea will cause diarrhea if you drink too much, generally 14g/ time. If individual tolerance is different, please reduce this amount (please distinguish it from some rose tea with quality problems, because drinking too much will cause diarrhea);
Rose petals have water-soluble natural color, flowers wither quickly, dry buds soak in water, and wither slowly. The higher the water temperature, the faster the color of flowers fades. Water color is a normal phenomenon!
Most of the rose buds sold in the market are added with sulfur for the following reasons: First, for long-term storage, the color of the flowers does not fade; The second is to satisfy consumers who don't understand the pursuit of bright colors. I don't know that agricultural products are dominated by natural colors. Too bright is harmful! Normal rose tea is pale yellow or yellow! If it is brewing blue tea, it is estimated that it contains unknown chemicals!
