Tea isn’t just a drink—it’s an experience. But how can you tell if the tea you're drinking is truly good quality? 

Whether you're a casual sipper or a daily drinker, learning to identify premium tea can elevate your tea time from routine to remarkable. Here's a simple guide to help you spot high-quality tea like Rozy Tea’s signature blends: Purjosh, Kenya Mixture, and Lajawab Dust.

1. Look at the Leaves

Good tea starts with good leaves. Whole or well-cut leaves with a consistent color usually indicate freshness and minimal processing. Avoid tea with a dull appearance, excessive dust, or broken fragments, as these often indicate lower quality.

At Rozy Tea, even our finely ground Lajawab Dust is curated with precision from top-tier Kenyan gardens, ensuring strength without compromising quality.

2. Smell the Aroma

Before you even brew it, a high-quality tea should have a natural, fresh aroma. Whether it's earthy, floral, or strong and malty, the scent should be pleasant and full-bodied. A musty or flat smell usually indicates staleness.

Rozy Tea’s Kenya Mixture is especially known for its inviting fragrance that energizes your senses even before the first sip.

3. Observe the Brew

When brewed, quality tea will release a vibrant color, not too pale or overly dark. A golden-amber or reddish tone often signals a rich and smooth cup. The liquor should be clear, not cloudy, and should maintain its color even when cooled.

4. Taste It

This is where the truth lies. A high-quality tea will have a balanced flavor, not too bitter, not too bland. It should feel smooth on the tongue and offer a lingering aftertaste. Good tea warms you from within and often doesn’t require too much sugar to be enjoyable.

Rozy Tea’s Purjosh is crafted specifically to deliver that perfect balance of flavorful, strong, and smooth in every sip.

5. Packaging Matters

The way tea is packaged can affect its freshness. Airtight, moisture-proof packaging helps retain flavor and aroma. All Rozy Tea products are available in multiple sizes (95g to 950g) with sealed packaging to lock in freshness from shelf to sip.

Final Sip

Quality tea doesn’t have to be a mystery. With just a few checks of leaf appearance, aroma, brew color, taste, and packaging, you can choose tea that’s truly worth your time. At Rozy Tea, we believe in offering tea that meets all these standards and more.
