Tea or not Tea?

The tea offer is proliferating in business!

So many sizes, colors and flavors... how to choose?

Let's decode  the gondola !

1) Yes or no?

The Argentine Food Code says that, to be called Tea, it must have parts (buds, leaves or stems) of the camelliasInensisl plant. So if you don't say it, it's not!

If you read that the label says “linden, cedron, chamanillao rooibos”, you can prepare a rich tea, but technically, you're not going to make a Te.

2) Aromas or aggregates?

Blends or tees mixed (that is, they are not pure) have additions to make them more attractive to the general public.

Craft tees usually have “aggregates” according to the designer's fantasy. You can find everything from chocolate pieces of  citrus peels, to spices and flower petals!

I chose according to your taste and curiosity.

You can find loose available for sale by grams.

Industrial tees, on the other hand have “aromas of... “vanilla, strawberry , limolen roses...

They are chemical food perfumes that give more health to the product and make them more enduring over time and more suitable for sale in closed packaging. Hard for one of these to polilize you! Hahaha.

3) Expiration?

Like every food, it has an aptitude date for consumption. It also ages and is losing properties and  taste .

Take care of your  health . Buy little every time and try a lot!
