It is very particular about adding tea leaves into a dish.

1. Pu-erh and black tea are suitable for the dishes with heavy taste and color. For the deep color of Pu-erh and black tea’s liquid, we can use them to instead the soy sauce to increase the color of the dishes. Meanwhile, they can remove the smell of meat and reduce greasy taste.

2. Green tea is suitable for cooking the fresh and elegant dishes. The tea liquid of green tea is light, which will not change the original color of other ingredients but also makes the dishes more delicious.
