Many tea lovers have this problem: why is the same tea so delicious to drink in a tea shop, but I always feel that the taste is unsatisfactory when I brew it at home? This is actually because the methods and techniques of making tea are different. In our daily life, drinking tea is a pleasure as well as an art. How to make a cup of delicious and fragrant tea soup? Here are a few tips to share with you.
First of all, we need to understand that making tea is not as simple as pouring hot water into a cup. Different tea leaves require different water temperatures, tea feeding methods and soup times, and only by mastering these skills can the tea leaves bring out the best taste and aroma.
1. Understand the water temperature required for different tea leaves
Different tea leaves require different water temperatures. Generally speaking, green tea needs to be brewed with hot water at 70~80°C, while black tea needs to be brewed with hot water at 90~95°C. Oolong tea needs to be brewed with hot water at 80~90°C. If the water temperature is too high or too low, it will affect the taste and aroma of the tea.
2. Academic Tea Throwing Method
The method of throwing tea is also one of the important factors affecting the taste of tea soup. Generally speaking, the amount of tea should be decided according to the size of the cup, but it should also be adjusted appropriately according to individual taste. If it is a bagged tea leaf, you can put the tea directly into the cup, and if it is a bulk tea leaf, you can put the tea leaves in the tea box first and then pour it into the cup.
3. Control the soup time
The soup time is also one of the important factors affecting the taste of tea soup. Generally speaking, the first brew of tea should be about 3~5 minutes, and the second brew of tea should be about 2~3 minutes. If the soup is out for too long, it will cause the tea soup to be too bitter; If the soup time is too short, it will lead to insufficient aroma of tea soup.
