- Boil water in a kettle. Ideally, use spring water or from mountain springs - it tastes better.
- Preheat the teapot and cups so that the temperature of the water will not drop when brewing.
- Place the tea leaves in the teapot. The amount of tea depends on its type and quality and can vary from ⅕ the size of a teapot to half.
- Fill with hot water. The temperature of the water varies with the type of drink. Black is brewed at a high temperature. White or green - at lower:
- white is infused at 80 ° C. When the water boils, set the kettle aside for 30 seconds, then pour it into the teapot;
- yellow - brew at 80 ° C;
- green - leave the boiled kettle for 1 minute. The water temperature should not exceed 65-85 ° С;
- Oolong tea is infused at a temperature of 85-100 ° C;
- black tea will not taste good if the water is not hot enough. Brew only with boiling water (99 ° C);
- Pu-erh tea is brewed with boiling water (100 ° C).
- Let the drink sit. The brewing time depends on the type of tea. Large-leaved - longer than small-leaved. According to Chinese tradition, the drink is infused on average from 30 seconds to 1 minute several times. In a European way - once. Recommended time:
- white - 0.5-3 to 6 min,
- yellow - 0.5-2 min,
- green - 0.5-2 min,
- Oolong - 0.15-2 min,
- black - 2-4 min,
- Pu-erh - 0.5-5 minutes
