Tips and tricks to select the finest leaf tea | Dalmia Gold


 Buying leaf tea is more of an art which is not everyone’s cup of tea. With so many commercial tea brands brimming everywhere, it is often hard to differentiate or say identify the best quality tea with a mind-blowing flavor. So here are some easy tips and tricks for you to select the finest leaf tea relying on your senses and not any fake claims.

Love at first sight

While buying tea from the nearest store or online, you will come across a wide variety of tea under various names or categories. But if you are looking for uncompromised quality leaf tea with that distinct scent, go for orthodox leaves than the regular CTC (curl, tear, and crushed) tea. You can easily identify the orthodox leaves that have not been through so much processing, unlike the CTC. Orthodox leaf tea is handled delicately from plucking of the leaves to processing, to keep intact the aromatic compounds and flavor. You will find these leaves slightly rolled with low or no breakage which unfurls after brewing. 

  • Texture

The finest quality leaf tea should feel smooth and a bit heftier than the lightweight CTC. This is because the leaves have not been through any extensive processing and hence retain their wholesomeness, flavor, and taste. Whereas highly processed tea would be lighter to touch and crumble easily while handling. If you think you have already bought authentic leaf tea, then find if the leaves feel slimy and smooth to touch after brewing. If not, you have been conned.

  • Smell matters

Authentic leaf tea, when steeped, smells heavenly with its rich aromatic magic taking over your senses. However, if your brewed tea doesn’t create any such flavorsome experiences, then surely you have been duped for the price and trust you invested.

So next time you buy tea, alert your senses and apply our tried and tested formula to buy authentic and flavorful tea without any third-party opinion.

We recommend you buying best quality tea from Dalmia Gold.
