Step 1: Prepare 85-90 ℃ pure water. Most green tea has a low degree of foam resistance, and the material precipitation rate is relatively fast, so using 85 ℃ water temperature brewing can better take into account the taste and foam resistance.
Step 2: Warm the cup, raise the temperature of the bowl with boiling water to stimulate the aroma of the tea, and rinse the tea set by the way.
Step 3: Pour the tea, while the gaiwan is warm, put the tea into the gaiwan (3-5g).
Step 4: Shake, gently shake the bowl from side to side twice.
Step 5: Smell the fragrance, open a small mouth and smell it, the floral fragrance/fried bean fragrance is fragrant.
Step 6: Brew, slowly pour water along cup from the lower left corner and pull it up in a clockwise circle. The aroma will be higher after brewing.
Step 7: Pour the soup. When brewing flower tea, 1-3 courses are soak for 5 s, and 4-6 courses are soak for 5-15 s. If it is a cake tea such as Jasmine Dragon Pearl , 1 course should be discarded and not drunk as a washing tea.
Step 8: Share the tea, evenly divide the tea soup into each tea cup.
