Do you have such confusion: the same tea, the second brew, the third brew, always feels like it doesn't taste the same as the last time. You can't quite put your finger on it, but something feels missing.

As a buyer, you might feel regret for not being able to replicate the same taste. Sellers, on the other hand, are equally frustrated, as they are often questioned despite not changing the tea! So why does this happen? After much reflection, it can be analyzed from the following aspects:

Influence of weather:

There's a farming proverb that says: "Sun brings fragrance, fire brings color." The phrase "Sun brings fragrance" means that after tea leaves are picked, they undergo processes like sun-drying, withering, resting, and fermentation. During these steps, enzymes in the leaves continuously activate, moisture gradually evaporates, dry matter oxidizes, and aromatic oils slowly release. However, if the weather isn't favorable, the same tea leaves, stored and placed differently by each person, will undergo changes in their internal qualities, resulting in a different taste when brewed.

Influence of environment and mood:

The environment and your mood while drinking tea can also affect the flavor. Whether you're calm, agitated, happy, or desiring something, your state of mind plays a crucial role in how the tea tastes. This is something many can relate to.

Influence of time:

The same tea will taste different when brewed in the morning, noon, or night, with subtle variations in perception.

Influence of physical condition:

If you're feeling overheated or have a cold, or if you've just smoked, the taste of the tea may also be distorted.

Influence of water quality:

Water quality varies by region, and the water used by sellers may differ from household water, which inevitably affects the flavor of the tea.

The above are some of the main reasons, though there may be others.

Does this mean you'll never get the exact same taste again? Not necessarily. While the same tea may taste slightly different each time, the flavors will still be very similar. This is the best explanation for the saying "Tea nurtures loyal drinkers."

As a tea lover, while enjoying its original flavor, why not also embrace its mysterious and ever-changing nature? Go with the flow and savor the unique journey each cup of tea brings. Every mindful sip offers a new experience...
