Cold Water Tea Turns Color Instantly? 99% Have Added Dye! 🍵🚫

How to distinguish pigmented tea?

Hey there, my friends! Today, let's chat about a little tea knowledge. Have you ever encountered this situation: when you brew tea with cold water, the tea soup changes color instantly and becomes very dark? 🤔

🧊【Cold Water Test Method】
Prepare a cup of cold water and put the tea leaves in it, observing the color change of the tea soup. If the color changes quickly to a darker shade, the tea leaves might be problematic. This method is simple and practical, helping you identify whether the tea is natural.

🌿【Secrets of Tea Pigments】
The theaflavins and thearubigins in tea only dissolve quickly in hot water. So, if you brew tea with cold water and the tea soup changes color rapidly, there's a high chance that the tea has been dyed.

🍂【Characteristics of Natural Tea】
Good quality tea needs to release its aroma and color slowly in hot water. So, the next time you buy tea, you might want to test it with this method to avoid purchasing products with added dyes.
