Understanding Siu Ching Wang Tea

Brewing step by step
Water temperature control
The key to brewing Siu Ching Mandarin tea is the control of water temperature. While Pu-erh tea usually requires high temperature water to release its aroma and flavor, citrus peels should not be used in water that is too hot, otherwise it will destroy its fine aroma. Generally speaking, a water temperature of around 90℃ is ideal.
