In order to better brew the fresh and refreshing characteristics of green tea, the water temperature should not be too high, generally around 85℃, and the temperature can be lower for particularly delicate tea such as whole bud.
Too high water temperature will burn the tea leaves, and the brewed tea soup will have a ripe taste. Boiled water will soon soak out the contents of the tea leaves, which will make the first sip of tea particularly strong or astringent.
Extended data:
The proportion of tea consumption is 1: 50. 150mL cover bowl can hold about 3g of tea, and the convenient observation method is to almost cover the bottom of the cover bowl. The amount of tea depends on everyone's taste, but it is not recommended to throw too much.
If brewing time is needed, green tea needs to be controlled. When the tea leaves are stretched, the soup can be served quickly. Another thing to note is that green tea must not be stuffy, and the bowl cover can be opened without cover.
By the way, the equipment for brewing green tea, such as cups, teacups and mugs, can be used. Soaking in a glass, you can enjoy the way the tea leaves spread out in the water, which is very ornamental. Just like this kind of Longjing, "when the glass is brewed, the bud leaves are tender and even become flowers, with one flag and one gun, slender and straight."
