How to brew Maojian tea

We all know that there are many ways to brew tea, such as drinking from a cup and brewing in a pot. Each brewing method has different characteristics and brings different taste enjoyment. However, each type of tea has its own characteristics and forms its own unique brewing method, which is different in the amount of tea used, tea utensils, and tea brewing process.

1. The amount of tea

The amount of tea used when brewing tea can vary from person to person, but it should not be too little. Generally, the proportion of tea is 30% tea to 70% water or 40% tea to 60% water.

2. Tea set

Drinking Maojian tea does not require high tea sets. In order to see its color and smell its flavor, you can use a transparent glass cup or a white porcelain cup. Do not use a cup or pot with a lid, because when brewing Maojian tea, you cannot cover or cover it, otherwise the tea soup and leaves will turn yellow.

3. Maojian brewing method process

The first step is to put the right amount of tea into the cup:

The second step is to pour boiling water into the cup (half a cup is enough) and shake it until the tea leaves are about to brew (you need to grasp the time), then pour out the water in the cup. The purpose is to remove the earthy taste of the tea and the floating debris.

The third step is to pour boiling water of appropriate temperature into the cup, and drink it after the tea leaves are brewed. Do not drink the tea dry, only drink 1/2 of the tea, and then pour water. The purpose is to keep the concentration of the tea moderate. Maojian has a pure taste and complete color and flavor.
