Be it headache or bad mood, a cup of tea is the best solution to all problems.
Many people consume it in the morning or after a tiring day to relax.
Do you know that the tea you are sipping may also be adulterated.
Recently, a fake tea company has been caught in Cuttack, Odisha. Fake tea leaves were being produced here on a large scale and were being supplied across the country.
In such a situation, we are telling you some such methods by which you will be able to identify fake tea leaves and the tea made from them.
Good quality tea leaves have the same size, shape and color. Pure tea leaves are usually in large pieces.
Adulterated tea leaves may be broken. They may contain stems, stones, or dust. Also, artificial colors or flavors may be added to it.
You will always enjoy the taste of tea made from pure tea leaves. Whereas the taste of adulterated tea will feel bitter.
Pure tea usually does not leave any residue of its leaves in the cup.
If after making tea, its color does not look natural then understand that its leaves are adulterated.
Apart from this, you put tea leaves in a glass of water. If the leaves are dissolved in water then they are adulterated.
