Water is an important element in brewing tea, and choosing a quality water source can enhance the flavor of the tea. Mountain spring water, mineral water or filtered tap water is usually recommended. The water is fresh and odorless, which can better stimulate the aroma and flavor of the tea leaves.
Prepare suitable tea sets
Choosing the right tea set is also important. It is recommended to use purple clay pots, porcelain bowls or glass tea sets. Purple clay pots can keep the heat and good air permeability, suitable for slow taste; porcelain bowl can retain the original flavor of the tea; glass tea sets can appreciate the color of the tea soup changes.

Too high a water temperature will destroy the nutrients and aroma of the tea, while too low a water temperature will not fully release the flavor of the tea. Use a kettle or temperature controlled electric kettle to accurately control the water temperature.

Place an appropriate amount of tea leaves (usually 5-8 grams) in a tea set, pour in a small amount of hot water, quickly moisten the tea leaves, and then pour out the water immediately. This step wakes up the tea leaves and allows the aroma and flavor to be better released.
