Selecting the right tea set
The choice of tea set for green tea is very important. Usually we will choose glass tea set, white porcelain tea set or purple sand pot. The glass tea set is bright and you can clearly see the tea leaves dancing in the water. White porcelain tea set can maintain the color and aroma of the tea leaves. Purple clay pots are also perfect for green tea due to their unique air permeability and heat preservation.

Tea selection and preparation
There are many types of green tea, such as Longjing, Biluochun, Mao Jian, etc. Each type of green tea has its own unique flavor. When choosing tea leaves, it is recommended to pick fresh tea leaves, as new tea will have better aroma and taste. Take an appropriate amount of tea leaves (usually about 3 grams per person) and put it into a tea loaf for spare.

Control of water temperature
The temperature of the water for brewing green tea should not be too high, generally controlled between 80°C and 85°C. The water temperature should not be too high. Excessively high water temperature will destroy the vitamin C and tea polyphenols in the tea, resulting in yellowish tea soup and bitter taste. You can pour boiling water into the cooling pot first, and then brew it after the water temperature drops to the right temperature.

brewing step

4. Tea tasting: Pour out the tea and savor the aroma and taste of green tea. If you feel that the tea is too strong, you can add some hot water to dilute.
