Put the rose tea on thin paper, spread it out and observe. The real rose tea is the flower core. Although some are broken, each one is shaped like a speaker. This is impossible for the imitation goods made of silk dyed by cutting radish. Or put the rose tea into the packaging bag and shake it. Some rose teas will stick yellow pollen to the packaging bag, forming a thin layer of light yellow, which is very easy to distinguish, while the counterfeit goods will not have this.

2. Soaking in water

The real rose tea is specially made from blue-purple rose tea stamens. Take a small amount of the sample and soak it in water. The water will turn orange-yellow and slowly float down. It is not easy to break up immediately in the water, and the water is bright light yellow. There is no thick suspended matter on the surface of the water. Use a high-power magnifying glass to observe. The authentic product has a speaker-like shape at one end and a gap on one side. The imitation products are made of the stamens of other flowers or even carrots cut into thin threads and then dyed. After soaking in tea, the carrots will break into pieces, the dye will quickly fade, and the water will turn red or orange with thick suspended matter. The adulterated varieties include saffron pistils, day lily dye, corn styles and columns, roses, lotus stamens, etc.
