Do you know – Jasmine Tea

Remembered last time I introduced the new tea, Dragon Pearl Jasmine tea that I tried?

I am now actually start packing my stuff in the house
as I am going to move to new place at the end of this month
and I found my note book somewhere that have notes about tea (which probably I wrote it two years ago, just information that I found online and wrote it in papers….)

I found the notes about  Jasmine tea  and its functions to the body

it could

- enhance attetnion/alert
- has a function to calm people’s emotion down
-  Good for people who suffer from constipation, depresion, brochitis

Hm…interesting….

7. Best time to sleep

Do you know 2 – Where you come from?

I just realised that now I am absorbing more info and reading more about tea, so I decided to open another category which is more about general fact of tea, “Do you know 123?”

So another question that I had for tea is, “Where do the tea are produced or come from?”
I was reading the book about Tea at Chapters one day, I was amazed where do tea come from.
But the book is too expensive for me to buy, and now I just able to find the map in the internet

Of course, the book has a little bit more info…but I guess the one is good enough for me to start. 

Of course, it is obvious when I think abou tea, first two countries that pop into my mind is China, (Chinese tea), and Japan (Green Tea), I was amazed there are more countries produce tea except North and South America….(WOww!!)

Check this website out, more info about the tea that each country produce.

Do you know 1 – Tea…expire?

Saw this on one of my tea boxes today.
It is not the first time I saw there is an “expiry date” on it.So, do tea expire?
No.   The date that is included doesn’t mean it is going to exprie and you cannot drink It is actually called the sell-by date; it is all about the quality of the tea only.So, if you keep the tea longer than the date that mentioned on the box, the quality won’t stay that good.
If you keep it well, the quality won’t change but it may also enhance the quality of the tea.
However, there are many factors that would affect the quality of the tea.

- Temperature
- Light
- Humidity

To determine whether the tea has expired; based on
- Any strange smell
- Green tea becomes red
- The color of the tea, become brownish or darker color
- The strength of the tea If it is bulk tea, don’t brew or drink it after 18 months.
because usually, the bulk tea’s quality has been changed during processing, if it exposed to the air for too long, it affects the original taste or it would lose the flavour of the tea.
