Brewing Tieguanyin tea with a cover bowl (work bubble method), purple clay pots, floating cups, cups, cups, large cups (including insulation cups, glass cups).
Large cups are quicker and more convenient, and glass teacups allow the drinker to appreciate the color of the tea through the light. The disadvantage is that there is no filtering function of the cup inside the tea is likely to drink into the mouth, affecting the drinking experience, a long time steeping will also be too thick, bitter, astringent, generally brewed once or twice the tea is basically out of the end. With a large cup brewing advice is to throw the amount of tea can be reduced.
Tieguanyin brewing is more concerned about the separation of tea and water, if the pursuit of convenience and simplicity, then the floating cups and cups are also a good choice, suitable for use in the office, travel and other occasions.
I personally feel that if the pursuit of quick and easy or fast cup good, water temperature and tea on porcelain and glass (and some plastic) requirements are different, fast cup is ceramic, compared to the kind of plastic glass cups soak out the taste of tea to be a lot better, I've always felt that the cups will aggravate the bitter taste of Tieguanyin. As a year-round player using a gaiwan bowl, I feel that the gaiwan bowl with Tieguanyin can hit the highest output with a floating cup, the Quick Cup brewing Tieguanyin compared to the gaiwan bowl, whether it is the aroma or taste is far from it.
The advantage of the cover bowl is that it does not absorb flavor, heat conduction is also fast, Tieguanyin dry tea and soak open the volume difference is very large, the cover bowl is conducive to the extension of its leaves, and appreciation of the bottom of the leaf. Now clear type Tieguanyin tea heavy aroma, clear type Tieguanyin with cover bowl bubble can better disseminate the aroma. Gongfu brewing method is also the traditional brewing method of Tieguanyin, covered bowl can be done on the color of the tea is not biased, the most accurate performance of the quality of tea. (Cover bowl recommended white porcelain cover bowl, do not use coarse ceramic material cover bowl)
Soak time the first bubble seconds out of the wash tea, the second three bubbles about 15 seconds out of the soup, and then each bubble in the front of the basis of the extension of 10 ~ 15 seconds. Note that tea is a very flexible thing, time is not fixed, this is only a reference time, according to their own tasting process of the intensity of the feeling to extend or shorten the time.
Lastly, the purple clay pot, purple clay pot is also bubble Tieguanyin good tea utensils. It is recommended to be made of vermilion clay. The aroma of Tieguanyin brewed in a zisha pot is not as good as that brewed in a porcelain gaiwan bowl.
The advantage of the purple sand pot is that it can also adsorb other odors in the water, with the purple sand pot brewing Tieguanyin, although the aroma is weaker, but the quality of the water is more than the porcelain bowl brewed out of the mellow, the tea flavor is heavier. Purple clay pot has a special pore structure, good at absorbing tea, if a purple clay pot has been brewed are Tieguanyin, will be able to get the purest tea flavor. There is a problem that the industry said "a pot of tea", often drink the pot out of the pot, but also to endure the differences in the taste of the pot period, and can not be changed to other tea, there may be string of flavors. My suggestion is that the pre-pot can be the purple clay pot as a fairway cup.
Steed with a good saddle, beautiful with good tea, but the green tea thought, as an ordinary tea drinker, do not have to overly pursue what high-end atmosphere on the grade of the tea set, the same material modeling of the tea set, leaving aside the psychological factors, brewing out of the tea soup is not much difference. The choice of tea set should be handy, cast the tea is good, cast their needs. Whether it is a big cup of tea cattle drink, or a pot of kung fu tea small mouth, are drinking tea, as long as they like, get their own method is good.
