1、 Soaking method

Before using Dendrobium to soak in water, prepare Dendrobium and clean it if there are impurities on it. Prepare hot water, do not use boiling water, the temperature of the water is about 85 degrees. Put the Dendrobium into water and soak it for about 5 minutes, or 10 minutes. When the water temperature drops slightly, the Dendrobium can drink. Soaking Dendrobium in water can be repeated, that is, after drinking the water, you can continue to add water for brewing, but generally it can be brewed three times.

2、 Method of distinguishing true from false

1. Color: the color of real Dendrobium will be a little darker, it looks yellow green, and there is no reflection. If the fake is waxed, it will reflect light. If it is cut, the section inside is emerald green and crystal clear. On the contrary, if you see more fibers in it, it will prove to be false.

2. Appearance: usually, there is a layer of fine hair outside the real Dendrobium, and the shape and size are very uniform, and it looks quite full. Counterfeits are just the opposite and have no fine hair.

3. Taste: put the Dendrobium under your nose and smell it. The real Dendrobium will have grass flavor and no other peculiar smell. Some fake Dendrobium will smell pungent or sour.
