How to brew Green Tea

Preparation tools: Select suitable tea sets (such as porcelain or glass lidded bowls, fair cups, and tasting cups), water quality (preferably soft water), and water temperature (generally 80-85°C).

Amount of tea: Adjust according to personal taste and the size of the tea set, generally 3-5 grams of tea per 100 milliliters of water.

● Brewing steps:

○ Warming the cups: Preheat the tea set with hot water to enhance the aroma of the tea.

○ Adding tea: Gently place the tea into the tea set.

○ Pouring water: Slowly pour hot water along the edge of the tea set, avoiding direct impact on the tea leaves, to ensure even heating.

○ Waiting: Adjust the steeping time according to the tea type and personal taste, generally 30 seconds to 1 minute for the first steep, and can be appropriately extended for subsequent steeps.

○ Pouring the tea: Pour the tea into the fair cup and then distribute it into the tasting cups to ensure an even distribution of tea in each cup.

○ Tasting: Follow the steps in the tasting art to carefully savor the color, aroma, taste, and shape of the green tea.

○ Rebrewing: Green tea can generally be rebrewed 2-3 times, and the steeping time can be appropriately extended each time.
