In order to brew the best state of the six major types of tea, it is necessary to choose the appropriate brewing method according to the characteristics of each tea, including the control of water quality, water temperature, tea dosage, brewing times and time. Here are some basic suggestions:
Green tea: Green tea is unfermented tea, the tea leaves are more tender, and the water temperature should not be too high when brewing, generally controlled at about 80-85. Green tea is suitable for brewing in a glass or gaiwan, and you can enjoy the stretching of the tea leaves in the water. The amount of tea is generally 3-5 grams, and the brewing times are 2-3 times, and the brewing time should not be too long.
Yellow Tea: Yellow tea is similar to green tea, but with a dull yellow step added to the production process. When brewing yellow tea, the water temperature can be slightly higher than that of green tea, controlled at around 85-90. The amount of tea served and the number of brews are similar to those of green tea.
White tea: White tea is a slightly fermented tea, the tea leaves are relatively delicate, and the water temperature should not be too high when brewing, and it is advisable to control it at 85-90. White tea is suitable for brewing with a gaiwan or purple clay pot, the amount of tea is generally about 5 grams, and the brewing times are better than 3-4 times.
Green Tea (Oolong Tea): Green tea is a semi-fermented tea that requires a high water temperature when brewing, which is generally controlled at around 95-100. Green tea is suitable for brewing in a purple clay pot or gaiwan, and the amount of tea is adjusted according to personal taste, generally 7-10 grams, and the brewing times can reach 5-6 times.
Black tea: Black tea is a fully fermented tea, the tea leaves are relatively strong, and the water temperature requirements are higher when brewing, which is generally controlled at about 95-100. Black tea is suitable for brewing in a purple clay pot or porcelain pot, the amount of tea is generally 5-7 grams, and the brewing times are 3-4 times.
Black tea: Black tea is a post-fermented tea, the tea leaves are relatively coarse and old, the water temperature requirements are higher when brewing, and it also needs to be simmered for a long time. It is generally controlled at about 95-100, which is suitable for brewing with a purple clay pot or porcelain pot. The amount of tea is generally 7-10 grams, and the number of brews can reach 5-6 times, or even more. In the brewing process, tangerine peel, wolfberry and other condiments can also be appropriately added to adjust the taste.
It is important to note that the above suggestions are for reference only, and the specific brewing method needs to be adjusted according to personal tastes and preferences. At the same time, water quality is also one of the important factors affecting the brewing effect of tea, and it is best to choose soft water or pure water for brewing. It is also necessary to pay attention to hygiene and safety during the brewing process to avoid cross-contamination.
