Choosing the right tea set
To make a good white dew tea, choosing the right tea set is the key. Generally speaking, transparent glass tea set is the best choice. The glass tea set not only allows you to appreciate the wonderful gesture of the tea leaves stretching in the water, but also allows you to better observe the color changes of the tea broth. In addition, white porcelain teacups are also a good choice, which can retain the aroma of the tea leaves well.
Water quality and water temperature selection
Good tea needs good water to brew. Generally speaking, the quality of water for brewing White Dew tea is preferable to mountain spring water, mineral water or pure water. Tap water, though convenient, will affect the taste of tea as it contains more chlorine and impurities. As for the water temperature, Bai Lu tea is suitable to be brewed with 80-85 degrees Celsius water, which can stimulate the aroma of the tea without destroying the nutrients in it.
The Need for Tea Washing
Although tea washing is not a necessary step for every kind of tea, for Bai Lu tea, it is a better way to remove dust and impurities from the surface of the tea leaves, as well as to allow the tea leaves to initially stretch and better release their aroma. The method of tea washing is very simple, pour hot water of 80-85 degrees Celsius into the tea set, shake it quickly and pour it out, the whole process takes no more than 10 seconds.

After washing the tea, you can formally brew White Dew tea. The specific steps are as follows:
1. Take 3-5 grams of White Dew tea leaves and place them in a tea set.
