How to brew Black Tea

I. Preparation Tools
Tools needed for brewing black tea include:
● Basic tea sets: Such as white porcelain tea bowls, glass fair cups, porcelain teacups, etc. These tea sets are not only visually appealing but also effectively showcase the color and aroma of black tea.
● Auxiliary tools: Such as tea trays, tea ceremony sets (including tea spoons, tea needles, etc.), tea towels, kettles, etc. These tools facilitate more convenient and hygienic brewing.
● Other optional tools: Such as tea holders (for holding dry tea), strainers (for filtering tea residue), and tea serving trays (for holding brewed teacups). These tools can be selected based on personal needs and preferences.

II. Amount of Tea
The amount of black tea used is a crucial factor influencing the taste of the tea liquor. Generally, the amount of tea can be adjusted according to personal taste, the size of the tea set, and the type of black tea. Here are some common suggestions for the amount of tea:
● Glass brewing method: For a glass of about 300 milliliters, the amount of tea is approximately 2 grams. If you prefer a stronger taste, you can increase it to about 3 grams.
● Tea bowl brewing method: For a standard white porcelain tea bowl of 110 milliliters, the amount of tea is about 5 grams. If the tea leaves are finer, the amount of tea can be reduced; if the tea leaves are larger, the amount can be increased.
● Large pot brewing method: For brewing tea in a large pot, the amount of tea can be adjusted based on the size of the pot and the number of people drinking. Generally, about 1 gram of tea per 100 milliliters of water is suitable.
