How to identify Ziyang Maojian
1. Color: Grab a handful of tea leaves with your hand and place them in the middle of white paper or a white plate, spread the tea leaves out, and observe carefully. If the color is yellow-green, basically uniform, and has an oily luster, it should be genuine Ziyang tea. If the tea leaves are grass green and the surface is smooth, then there is a suspicion of fake Ziyang tea.
2. Smell the aroma: Hold up half a handful of dry tea with both hands, place it near the nose, and deeply inhale the tea's scent. Any tea with a relatively strong tender aroma, fresh aroma, or chestnut aroma is genuine Ziyang tea. Any tea without tea fragrance and with a clear fishy smell, or mixed with other odors, is fake Ziyang tea.
3. Leaf base: After brewing for 5 minutes, pour out the tea liquor, then smell the aroma of the leaf base in the cup. If you can clearly sense the tea's fresh aroma, tender aroma, or chestnut aroma, it is genuine Ziyang tea. If you smell a clear fishy odor or no aroma at all, it is fake Ziyang tea.
4. Taste the liquor: Taste the poured-out tea liquor with the tip of the tongue. If you feel a mellow taste and a sweet aftertaste, it is genuine Ziyang tea. If the taste is bitter and astringent or bland and tasteless, it is fake Ziyang tea.
5. Cold liquor: After the tea liquor cools, it can still remain clear, and the liquor color gradually turns yellow, which is genuine Ziyang tea. If the tea liquor remains clear with green leaves, or becomes turbid and the leaf base turns white, it is fake Ziyang tea.
