Tied Tea: Beauty and Benefits

Tied Tea: Beauty and Benefits

Besides aesthetic pleasure, tied tea is also beneficial for health

Green tied tea is most in demand at food service points. To serve it, you will need to purchase transparent glassware, otherwise guests will not be able to fully appreciate the beauty of the tea, expressed in the unfolding flower. Considering that tied tea releases its aroma after 2–3 infusions, it is worth placing a separate kettle of boiling water on the customers' table.

This drink is also convenient from an accounting standpoint. For one cup, you need 1 unit of tea. Brewing is also simple: just pour water at 80–90°C over it and leave for 3–4 minutes. Each infusion will be different. The first brew will be delicate and aromatic in taste.

If you decide to buy tied tea in Moscow, you should be prepared for different prices for this type of tea. It all depends on the amount of manual labor and the quality of the raw materials. This tea cannot tolerate mechanized processes. Its average cost is 1000 rubles per 1 kg.

What tied tea can you buy in Moscow

Top sellers include 'Phoenix Eye' and 'Dragon Pearl'. In the latter type of tea, the leaves are rolled into small pearls. Flavoring is done using large Yunnan jasmine flowers. During brewing, the pearls unfold, turning into white leaves. The finished drink has a rich jasmine flavor, and the infusion itself is a light green color.

Tied tea 'Phoenix Eye' resembles a bird's eye. When opened, a jasmine bud is found inside.

Among green tied teas, 'Boxwood Hare' is very popular. It is tied from tips shaped like the head of this animal with ears. Inside are hidden flowers of calendula, clover, and jasmine. The drink has a light amber color, floral aroma, and a tart taste.

Among red teas, 'Golden Pagoda' is worth noting: its tips and tea leaves are shaped like a pagoda pyramid. They open into peony flowers. As a result, the infusion has a golden-red color, a fruity aroma, and a soft taste.
