The quality behind the brand

It should be noted that although the names of some products are appropriate, a large number of product names are far from enough. We have seen this in many established teahouses, Internet providers and even big brands.

There are many reasons for the widespread phenomenon of unqualified quality. Extremely diversified production and processing is one of them. The concept of extreme polarization of tea as a product is another. I will not continue to distract the focus of this article, but will mention two key market conditions with tea labels.

The advanced quality of one brand may be equal to the ordinary quality of another brand.

There are basically no laws or rules governing how retailers rate a products. I'm afraid I see this bad practice spill over and even B2B transactions. The only solution is to compare shopping.

People often use the names of famous regions to label products, although in reality, products from well-known regions can not guarantee the quality.

This is a story that I have always liked to tell people:

A large state-owned enterprise bought the hilltop where four tea trees, Dahongpao, are located in Yuanshui County. You would think they drank the best tea. They have legal origin and sell at extremely high prices, but the quality is only slightly higher than that of restaurant tea.

By contrast, in the small mountain village of Liaoxiya, only a few families produce authentic Shiguping oolong tea. Weather permitting, their production has never failed. In order to ensure the quality, they only harvest once a year.

This is an extreme comparison when it comes to real origins. I have a lot of stories to tell.

All in all, this is a sharp learning curve to understand a kind of tea label. In addition, the quality consumers get from the label depends on the supplier's skill and conscience in providing the best quality for the label.

Let's take a quiz.

However, in the process of tasting tea, understanding the quality of the correct label is a very important step. Before you continue to study the meaning of specific tags on this site or any other source of information, let's do a little test. See if you can tell which method is used in these seven commonly used tea names.
