But when entertaining friends to make tea, one thing is very important, that is, you cannot brew tea directly with hot water, otherwise the tea soup will be very unpleasant and it will be a waste of tea.
If you want the tea soup to be sweet and delicious, you only need to master these 3 tea making skills. Those who don’t know how to make tea should learn it quickly!
1. Control the amount of tea used
When making tea, you should pay attention to the "appropriate amount", which is the amount of tea used. Maybe in life, some people have strong tastes and like to drink strong tea, so when making tea, they like to put a lot of tea leaves.
In this way, although the tea soup is strong, the taste is not very good, and drinking strong tea for a long time will also affect the quality of sleep. The scientific and healthy ratio of tea to water is 1:50. The tea soup brewed according to this is the most delicious.
2. Master the water temperature
Different tea leaves have very different characteristics, so you cannot just use water of the same temperature when brewing.
For green tea and yellow tea that we often drink, the water temperature when making tea should not be too high, usually between 85°C and 90°C; for black tea and oolong tea, the water temperature for making tea should be around 95°C; for white tea and black tea that are more resistant to brewing, they must be brewed with boiling water.
3. Pay attention to the souping time.
The souping time also determines the taste of the tea soup. Green tea and yellow tea have a shorter soaking time and generally have to be brewed within 12 seconds. Black tea and oolong tea are about brewing and brewing, generally no more than 10 seconds. For old white tea and black tea, the soup should be brewed within 20-25 seconds for the best taste!
