Do tea leaves need to be washed
When drinking tea, we often ignore the washing step, which is wrong. Washing tea can not only remove impurities and pesticides in tea leaves but also kill bacteria in tea sets. Therefore, you must go through the step of washing tea before drinking tea to drink tea more healthily.
Kill bacteria in tea sets
When tea sets are exposed to the air, there will be dust and bacteria. Washing tea can warm the tea sets, kill bacteria in the tea sets, and remove impurities in the tea sets.
Remove pesticides from tea leaves
There will be a small amount of pesticide residue in tea leaves. Although there are not many harmful substances, they will affect your health over time. Washing tea can remove pesticide residues and make drinking tea healthier.
Wake up tea leaves
Some tea leaves will roll together and form a ball. Washing tea can stretch the tea leaves and fully release the aroma of tea leaves.
Washing tea can eliminate bitterness
Washing tea can eliminate the bitterness in tea leaves and make the taste of tea lighter.
It is recommended to control the washing time to about 10 seconds, and the compressed tea is recommended to be controlled to about 30 seconds.
The water temperature for washing tea should be controlled at around 90 degrees. The water temperature should not be too high, as it will cause the loss of nutrients in the tea leaves; the water temperature should not be too low, as it will prevent the tea leaves from fully expanding and impurities in the tea leaves cannot be removed.
