Can you make tea with disposable paper cups?

In order to make it easier to drink tea, we often use disposable paper cups to make tea. Are disposable paper cups safe, maybe the tested paper cups are safe, but do you know that disposable paper cups can be used to make tea?

1. Making tea in a paper cup will greatly reduce the taste and color of the tea, and reduce the nutritional value of tea. The Jiangsu Provincial Bureau of Quality Supervision has recently carried out supervision and risk monitoring of food paper container products, and the results of the spot check show that paper cups are not suitable for making tea.

2. The quality inspectors conducted on-site tests on this phenomenon. The quality inspectors weigh 1 gram of green tea and oolong tea in disposable paper cups and glasses, and weigh 0.5 grams of black tea because of its dark color after soaking. After pouring boiling water into disposable paper cups and glasses and leaving them for 20 minutes, the color of black tea in the double-layer paper cup is significantly darker than that in the glass, and the color of green tea and oolong tea in the paper cup is more yellow than the color of tea in the glass.

3. The results of tea polyphenol oxidation test show that the main reason for the color of tea to become dark or yellow is that the nutrients such as tea polyphenols in tea are oxidized. If tea polyphenols are oxidized, it will directly affect the taste and color of tea and reduce the nutritional value of tea.

4. Drinking tea with advertising paper cups is not only bad, but also destroys the nutritional value of tea. When you usually make tea, do not use freshly boiled boiling water to make tea in disposable paper cups, try to choose water about 75 °C to make tea in glasses, enamel cups or professional tea making utensils. It is generally recommended that you leave the boiling water for about 10 minutes before using it to make tea.

5. Tea drinking allusions;

There are very few Chinese who can't drink tea. In the past, people in the city used clay pots to make tea; Countrymen make tea in a porcelain pot with a cylindrical body and two copper ring handles. Each has its own situation, each with its own merits. Society has changed, the tea ceremony has changed, and now, guests come and go, and it has developed to the atmosphere of making tea in disposable paper cups to entertain guests. "Disposable", the subtext is: "You are my 'disposable' friend." "Paper cup", isn't it as human as paper? This is a lack of etiquette, a disrespect from the host to the guest, and makes the guest feel the contempt of the host. The saying goes: "As soon as people leave, the tea will be cold." ”

Brewing tea in disposable paper cups to entertain guests has a feeling of "the tea is cold before people leave". "It's always like a beautiful woman." The teapot makes tea, everyone drinks the same tea, there is no suspicion, and the words are true, constituting a peaceful and elegant atmosphere.
