Has Your Tea Been Stored Too Long? Three Methods to Brew It Back to Its Original Flavor
Tea leaves will undergo changes over time, regardless of whether they are vacuum-packed. The chlorophyll and polyphenol compounds in the tea can cause the leaves to age and turn yellow or red. If the tea was not sufficiently dehydrated or dried improperly, the infusion may become bitter and astringent. If stored improperly, it may even develop mold. Therefore, when you return to drinking tea that has been opened for some time, there are certain issues to be mindful of. First, check if the tea has developed mold. Place the tea leaves in your hand and examine them under bright light or give them a light sniff. If there is a musty smell, the tea should not be consumed and can instead be used as plant fertilizer. Brewing Method to Address the Issue If the dry tea leaves have a grassy scent or other off-flavors, you can seek the assistance of a professional tea roaster or a tea shop to process them.

Pigeon Soup Recipes
The pigeon, a common bird, played an important role in ancient times as a messenger. Utilizing the pigeon's homing ability to transmit messages, pigeon breeding is now widespread, and edible pigeons can be purchased at most markets. Pigeons are typically used for making soup, as it is believed that pigeon soup has excellent therapeutic effects and nourishes the body. There is even a saying that "one pigeon is better than nine chickens." Selecting Good Pigeons Old pigeons are very fragrant but hard to cook until tender. For tonics, 30- to 45-day-old squabs are generally used. When selecting, look for those with yellow down feathers that have not completely shed, and check for meat by feeling the chest. If the breastbone is too prominent, there is likely little meat. Additionally, ensure the pigeons are lively and energetic, with a larger front and smaller rear, and a pure color.
