Nowadays there are many kinds of burdock tea popular on the market, so how to choose burdock tea made from genuine materials is especially crucial; in fact, there are many finer points to choosing burdock tea. So how much is burdock tea per jin? How do you choose it?

I. How much is burdock tea per jin

1. Loose-packed: Because loose-packed burdock tea is simply processed and has lower production costs, its price is certainly relatively low, at about 30 yuan per jin.

2. Simply packaged: Simply packaged burdock tea is a little more expensive than loose-packed burdock tea, mainly in terms of production costs, with a market price of about 50 yuan per jin.

3. Fancy packaged: Fancy packaged burdock tea is not only more exquisitely packaged, but also made with a different production process, and the price is about 250 yuan per jin.

II. Tips for choosing burdock tea

1. Place of origin: The place of origin and the raw material of burdock tea are quite important criteria. First choice is burdock tea from Lanling County (formerly Cangshan County, Shandong), the “hometown of Chinese burdock”. Lanling County in Shandong Province is the source area and preferred export origin of Chinese burdock; the burdock tea here is made by specially trained workers who carefully select burdock roots that are uniform and similar in size, rich in nutrients and free of hollow centers.

2. Craftsmanship: The processing technique for burdock tea is also the most critical factor. High-quality burdock tea in China is made by carrying out technological innovation on the basis of traditional burdock tea processing techniques, using traditional methods together with modern high-tech biological patents, without adding any chemical components, so that the rich nutrients of burdock are not lost and the medicinal effects of burdock can be brought into fullest play.

3. Packaging: The packaging of burdock tea not only reflects its grade, but is also a guarantee of quality and effect. Loose-packed burdock tea slices are generally of poorer quality, with an unclear place of origin, and their safety is not guaranteed, let alone their effects. Larger packaging is a little better, but it easily “loses its aroma”. Fine small packaging not only keeps the aroma of burdock tea from volatilizing, but also ensures a consistent taste and undiminished effects.

4. Brewing: Good-quality burdock tea, when brewed with boiling water, gives off a rich ginseng-like aroma, with a reddish tea color, a sweet and mellow taste, and it withstands repeated brewing, while poor burdock tea is far inferior. Drinking good burdock tea regularly can bring about healing reactions such as dry mouth, abdominal bloating, passing gas, enhanced bowel movements and hunger, while ordinary tea is much worse, and much of it that fails to meet hygiene and quality standards can even cause other illnesses.

Burdock tea, also called burdock root tea, is an herbal tea made from the root of the burdock plant. Some herbal experts believe that this drink can help regulate blood pressure, relieve stomach problems, control diabetes, balance hormones and provide other medical benefits. But not all the benefits of burdock tea are supported by strong scientific evidence.
