How to prepare chinese tea

Loose tea Preparation

A good cup of tea is dependent on both the tea quality and its preparation.

Poor preparation will reduce appearance and taste and devalue the initial quality of the tea purchased.

Preparation methods differ between teas and tea types. Instructions below are offered as a guide.

With time and experience, you as a tea drinker will derive your own tea preparation technique and preferences in regards tea vessel used, tea type and flavour, tea strength, brewing time.

Dragon Well, Bi Luo Chun and Peach Creek Green Tea

Most high quality green teas are made of young  tender  tea leaf tips.  The trick in preparing green tea is to avoid overcoking the tea leaves.  

  1. Quantity of tea leaves : about 1/2 tea spoon of the tea leaves per cup or 1 tea spoon per small tea pot.
  2. Boil water  then , then wait to let the water temperature drops down to around 85-90OC  before adding to the tea vessel, 
  3. Allow to draw  for at least  2 minutes before serving. (the strength of the tea could be adjusted to personal preference by adjusting the amount of the tea leaves put in)
  4. Don't put a lid on the teapot or cup ( to reduce the chance of stewing the tea).
  5. Repeat infusions : The tea leaves can be used again for repeat infusions . ie  for up to 3-4 times by just adding hot water. slightly increase brewing time with each extra infusion.
