Tea is most afraid of moisture or odor intrusion
For convenience, many people hold the tea with their hands and brew it directly when drinking tea. They don't know that sweat or hand cream from their hands can get onto the tea to some extent. Even if you wait until your hands are dry after washing, they will still affect the tea, and the subtle differences are difficult to detect, so many tea lovers will disagree.
Our hands touch many places every day and inevitably carry some bacteria and microorganisms, and our hands are also prone to sweating or moisture.
If you grab the tea leaves with your hands, it will change the dry environment of the tea leaves, which may be contaminated by bacteria or microorganisms, and the moist environment provides breeding soil for them. In such an environment, not only will the aroma of the tea gradually fade, but the tea may also deteriorate faster.

Are you still holding the tea leaves with your hands when making tea?
In the tea ceremony, special teaspoons are used to serve tea. Stainless steel, wood or bamboo can be used. However, used teaspoons must be placed in a dry environment, such as in the cabinet where the cutlery is placed. It's best to put a teaspoon into a sterilizer if possible.
Catching tea leaves with your hands can easily accelerate the deterioration of tea leaves
Of course, you can also pour the tea directly into the pot, and the specific amount depends on personal preference. It should be reminded that once too much tea leaves are poured, never pour them back into the tea can, because the tea leaves may have been stained with water or other impurities in the pot and become damp, which will also accelerate the deterioration of the tea leaves.
To ensure the quality of tea, you must not only pay attention to the way you brew the tea, but also store the tea correctly. Tea must be stored in a low temperature, airtight, dry and odor-free environment. Only in this way can you ensure that your favorite tea will not be destroyed by time and get the best taste!
