Prepare the necessary equipment.
The tea-making equipment comprises:
Teapot: You'd better use a teapot. The quality of the teapot should be delicate and breathable.
Teacup: choose a goblet, which is suitable for hot and cold.
Tea: fresh, natural, with good color, aroma and taste is preferred.
Tea tray: a tray for placing pots, cups and water, which is convenient for pouring water.
Tea sieve: the tools used to sieve tea leaves should be clean and dust-free.
Please water it.
Please ask for water before making tea. After the cold boiled water is heated, it rushes into the pot. Listening to the clatter of water, the teapot and other appliances lead to heat, which makes the mouth of the teapot moist and the tea soup more mellow and delicious.
Add tea
When adding tea, there should be neither too much nor too little tea, and the weight of tea should be one-third of the pot capacity. When spreading tea, it should be flat and symmetrical. If you want to show the beauty of tea, you can also fold it into the shape of a small flower.
water injection
Water injection is the most important link in tea making, and the water temperature needs to be properly controlled, which is called "one-bubble water", that is, the water temperature should be adapted to the variety, shape and degree of tea. When injecting water, inject it into both sides respectively, gradually find the center and keep it uniform.
wait for
The waiting time should not be too long, otherwise the tea will lose its original quality. The time for making tea is generally 1-2 minutes. Different ways have different time, so you can adjust yourself.
pour (out) tea
When pouring tea, you'd better arrive a little first, and then do other operations after tasting the taste. It is better to pour tea with plates and small trays, and pour tea smoothly and carefully. The tea soup in the cup has low temperature and soft taste. After the temperature drops slightly, you can still taste the fragrance.
Taste tea and evaluate its taste and quality.
When tasting tea, we should feel the emotional effects of taste, fragrance and color of tea from four aspects: smell, vision, taste and thinking. Smell the fragrance lightly, consciously taste the tea soup, and taste it carefully with the tip of your tongue. At this time, you should be careful and try your best to feel it. The combination of these four aspects in the tea tasting room is a complete tea tasting process and also reflects the uniqueness of the tea ceremony.
