To distinguish the quality of duck feces fragrance, the following aspects can be taken into account:
1. Observe the appearance and color
High quality duck poop flavored tea leaves have thick and uniform strands, a dark brown and oily color, with silver beige or slightly yellow edges, and a unique shape resembling phoenix feathers, tightly tied and elastic.
If the tea leaves are finely divided, messy, and have a dull color, it may indicate poor quality.
2. Smelling fragrance and observing color
Good duck droppings have a rich, long-lasting, and natural aroma, with a unique silver floral scent. High quality ones may also have a milky or orchid fragrance. You can smell the fragrance as soon as boiling water is boiled.
After brewing, high-quality duck excrement flavored tea soup should be bright orange yellow or golden yellow, clear to the bottom, and not slightly red or light yellow.
If the aroma is weak, pungent, or has a strange odor, and the tea soup is cloudy and dim, it may indicate a problem with the quality of the tea leaves.
3. Taste and observe the bottom of the leaves
When tasted, the high-quality duck droppings have a rich and mellow taste, strong aftertaste, smooth texture, a throat like texture, and fruity, orchid, and baking aromas.
After brewing tea, the bottom of the leaves should be intact and soft, with red edges and green center. The leaves should be thick and elastic, with good elasticity, minimal residue, and almost no damage.
If the taste is bitter, weak, or has an unpleasant odor, and the bottom of the leaves is broken or blackened, it may indicate poor tea quality or improper processing.
