Portable tea bags offer convenience, but not all are created equal. For Europeans exploring China’s tea varieties or floral/fruit infusions, here’s how to avoid low-quality options:
Red Flag 1: “Tea Dust” Instead of Real Leaves
Problem: Many cheap tea bags usefinely ground tea dust, which loses flavor quickly and may contain stale or broken leaves.
Solution: Choose tea bags withvisible whole leaves or chunks(e.g., China’s Tieguanyin oolong or hibiscus flower tea).
Red Flag 2: Artificial Colors & Flavors
Problem: Some flower/fruit teas rely onsynthetic dyes and sweetenersto mask low-quality ingredients, resulting in an unnatural taste.
Solution: Opt fornaturally coloredteas (e.g., green tea’s pale yellow, rose tea’s pink) and read labels to avoid “artificial flavoring” or “colorants.”
Red Flag 3: Non-Biodegradable Packaging
Problem: Plastic tea bags and excessive packaging contribute to pollution, conflicting with Europe’s sustainability values.
Solution: Look for100% compostable tea bags(e.g., made from cornstarch) and minimal, recyclable outer packaging.
Why Choose China Tea & Blends?
China’s tea heritage offers unique flavors likepu-erh’s earthiness, jasmine tea’s fragrance, and lychee fruit tea’s sweetness. When sourced ethically, these teas are both delicious and eco-friendly.
