The Basic Brewing Technique

Always consume the freshly brewed tea. Do not leave the leaves soaking for a long time as the tea will taste rough, bitter and have lost all the natural scent. If you can master the brewing techniques, you will have years of enjoyment with tea.There's a saying "Boiling water make delicious tea". In fact it does not apply to all types of tea making. There are two basic methods for brewing:

Low Temperature Brew:

This method is suitable for brewing Green and White tea. First, pour in boiling water (100°c) until half of the teapot size. This is for rinsing the water and not for drinking. Pour out the water immediately. We call this "Tea Rinse". The hot water will loosen and expand the dry leaves, which brings out the scent and aroma. We call this "Releasing the Scent". Then use 80°c temperature water to brew the Tea.

High Temperature Brew:

This method is suitable for brewing Dark Green tea (Oolong), Aged Tea (Pu-erh) and Black Tea. First, pour in boiling water (100°c) until overflow slightly. This is for rinsing the water and pours out the water immediately. Then use 98°c water to brew the tea.
