The taste of green tea is fresh and refreshing, while the taste of yellow tea is mellow and sweet, and the aroma of flower tea is high. In fact, green tea and yellow tea are made in the same way and the degree of fermentation is similar, and the same brewing method can be used. Most of the scented tea uses green tea as the tea base, and the brewing method is the same as that of green tea. If it is an innovative scented tea, using black tea/white tea as the tea base, please refer to the brewing method of black tea/white tea.

Step 3: Pour the tea, while the gaiwan is warm, put the tea into the gaiwan (3-5g).

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.
