A. How to preserve Tan Cuong Bud Tea

The preservation of tea is essential to help the tea retain the inherent flavour and colour of the water. This is the best way to preserve Tan Cuong’s speciality tea that you can refer to.

Do not expose tea to light, heat and air.

This is one of the essential factors when preserving the Tan Cuong green tea line. Because tea, if exposed to light, heat and air, will quickly lose colour, flavour and health effects. Therefore, when storing, keeping away from locations exposed to these elements is necessary. Also, placing the tea in a cool, dry place is best.

At the same time, when storing them, you should keep them in opaque glass jars. Because light contains a lot of ultraviolet rays, it will lose tea taste. Therefore, if you store tea in a transparent glass jar, it is easy to affect the quality of the tea.

It is best to store tea in opaque glass, ceramic or porcelain containers.

Storage of speciality tea in Xinjiang must be careful to avoid oxidation and reduce tea taste. Tea is straightforward to absorb moisture and odour, so when storing it, it should be stored in odourless glass, ceramic or porcelain jars. Because tea, if stored in pots with a long smell, will stick to the scent of other products during use.

At the same time, when storing in jars, the lids should be tightly closed to prevent air exposure simply because exposure to the air will make the tea lose its inherent flavour. Therefore, older adults often had a way to preserve Tan Cuong Bud Tea: put it in ceramic and porcelain jars and use banana leaf buttons when covering it. This helps keep the tea from moisture and prevents insects from entering.

Always keep the tea dry.

When storing speciality tea in Xinjiang, you must ensure it is dry. Because if the tea is exposed to moisture, it will be susceptible to mould. Therefore, any tea should be put in an airtight jar or container and stored in a cool, dry place with low humidity.

Need to stay away from odours

Usually, absorbing the surrounding odours is the trend of dried bud teas. Therefore, avoiding herbs or spices with solid and pungent odours is necessary when storing tea. Because if you are subjective and close enough, you will find that your tea has a strange taste. So the best solution is still to put the tea in sealed jars. Only then will the tea retain its original aroma and prevent them from absorbing strong odours.

Tea should be stored in a cool, dry place.

The biggest enemies of Xinjiang speciality tea are light and moisture. Therefore, the best place to store tea is a place with little light and stable temperature, like a kitchen cabinet. However, tea should be avoided near the stove. Because this is where moisture and heat can be generated, it will quickly spoil the tea.

Tie up the tea pack well if you’re not using a container

Tie the tea pack tightly if you’re not storing it in a glass, ceramic, or porcelain jar. Because after the tea package has been cut, the tea will be evaporated. Therefore, after taking the tea, shake the tea bag gently in your hand to help push all the tea to the bottom of the bag. Then, wipe out the air inside and roll the edge of the bag several times. Finally, tie the bag tightly so that air does not get inside.

Separate cups of flavoured and unflavored dry tea

Flavoured dry tea, if combined with unmarinated tea, will spread the scent to each other. Therefore, how to preserve Tan Cuong Bud Tea with the right taste and without losing its delicate aroma, please keep it separate.

Store tea in the fridge

You can still store tea in the refrigerator, although this is not the ideal place. However, before placing it in the fridge, it is necessary to pack it carefully by vacuuming it. Thus, the tea retains its original taste even if you keep it in the refrigerator for a long time.

Handling damp tea

The best way to deal with damp tea is to use an unscented iron pot or pan. Next, put a white paper, pour the tea, and dry it on low heat. Only dry for 1-2 minutes until the tea is no longer moist. Do not dry for too long; it will burn the tea. Finally, after cooling, put the tea in storage.

B. Steps to make Tan Cuong Bud Tea:

To have a delicious Tan Cuong Bud Tea, you need to follow the instructions below:

Boil water: The suitable temperature range for making speciality tea is between 85 and 95 degrees Celsius.

Coating tea: Use a wooden spoon to take 5g of Thai Nguyen tea from a kettle with a capacity of about 250ml. Add a little hot water, just enough to cover the tea leaves, then shake the kettle gently and pour off the water to rinse the tea.

Steep tea: Brew tea for 20 to 60 seconds to infuse and expand.

Pouring tea: From the pot, pour out special tea. It is necessary to run the tea in circles, so the tea cups taste the same. First, pour only 1/3 of each cup. Then rounds 2 and 3 also repeat the same until just enough.

Enjoy: First, raise the teacup to the level of your nose. Then back and forth a few times to feel the delicious taste of the hot tea.

Then you take a small sip, hold it in your mouth for a few seconds, and slowly swallow it. With this way of enjoying tea, you will feel Tan Cuong’s speciality tea’s acrid, fleshy, and sweet taste. The unique flavour and highly refreshing. Just like that, you will enjoy it until you run out of tea.

Some notes for you to make better tea:

+ Use spring or filtered water through ordinary filters (activated carbon, ceramic, sand gravel) to make tea.

+ Should use an electric kettle to boil water. When the water boils, it will automatically turn off.

+ The more minor the tea leaves, the lower the temperature water should be used to brew. About 80-90 degrees Celsius.

+ Do not steep the tea for too long. The longer the tea steeps, the hotter it is, and the more ‘burnt’ it loses its flavour.

+ To make delicious Tan Cuong Bud Tea, you should use an unglazed earthenware pot.
