Why did Tieguanyin become the "disdain chain" on the tea table?

The decline of Tieguanyin in the past ten years is not only related to flavor issues, pesticide residues, pigments, blending, etc., but also to many issues that have triggered the anger of consumers. Here, the editor did not prove the authenticity of these issues. However, whether the problems are true or false, or whether consumers are following the trend, the doubts and anger caused by these problems among tea consumers towards Tieguanyin tea itself have indeed aroused the fear of despising the tea table chain. Many people have to give up Guanyin tea. Today, Yuyan Tea will discuss with you how Tieguanyin was lowered step by step to the bottom of the tea table contempt chain.

First of all, the theory of pesticide residues, that is, the problem of excessive pesticide residues. As early as 2012, Tieguanyin faced interference from agricultural residues, and Fujian tea exports were notified by the European Union. Over the next few years, Tieguanyin continued to report excessive agricultural residues. Until CCTV reported that Tieguanyin made things worse, refreshing tea drinkers' understanding of Tieguanyin and causing many to quit tea.

Secondly, essence says that essence is a tea additive. There are rumors in the world that 90% of the Tieguanyin aroma on the market comes from the effect of essence. Regardless of whether Tieguanyin really has added essence, if more people pass it on, it will definitely become "real".

Third, the pigment theory. Mainly focus on the color of Tieguanyin. Tieguanyin should be "green leaves and red edges", but the color of Tieguanyin dry tea and tea soup on the market is green. Many people think this is the reason for adding pigments.

Fourth, heavy metal theory. There are reports that the Tieguanyin rare earth produced by a certain company exceeds the standard.

Fifth, fake tea theory. Low price, inferior quality and fake Tieguanyin are eroding people's recognition of Tieguanyin.

Sixth, harassment theory. This is reflected in the endless bombardment of text messages, phone calls and social media from tea farmers, tea factories and operators.

The reason why consumers are boycotting Tieguanyin and "Quiting Tea" is mainly because in the storm of Tieguanyin, each one is challenging the bottom line of consumers. In the living environment of Chinese people, pesticide residues, flavors, pigments and fake and shoddy products can be seen everywhere. Fruits, vegetables, rice, bread and drinks can be found everywhere. The Tieguanyin problem is just a microcosm.
