Exploring Chinese Tea: How to Choose Loose Tea and Packaged Tea, What are the Differences Between Spring Tea, Summer Tea, and Autumn Tea?-1 Whether choosing loose tea or packaged tea, it should be clear first that the quality of the tea is not directly related to its packaging. However, tea packaging is an essential element in the storage, preservation, transportation, and sale of tea. Without packaging, tea tends to lose its color, aroma, and flavor more quickly. From the perspective of current food safety production supervision in China, most products from tea enterprises with food production permits are packaged teas. Therefore, consumers tend to feel more reassured when purchasing packaged tea. Of course, this does not mean that loose tea is necessarily inferior to packaged tea. With the continuous improvement of food safety management levels in China, loose tea as an agricultural product has been formally included in the food safety supervision system.
