While some people wash the tea before brewing, some never prefer shake tea. The continued differentiation of tea brewing methods has caused confusion in people. Incorrect tea brewing can spoil the taste of the tea and kill the nutritional value in it.
HOW IS TEA BREWED?
Most people have the following question in mind when brewing tea: Is water added to the tea or to the water when brewing the tea?
There are some critical points you need to know in order for your tea to be clear and delicious. If you add the hot water first and then the tea while the tea is brewing, then you will get a more cloudy and less flavored tea. But if you add the tea first and then fill it with water while brewing the tea, then your tea will be clearer, free from leaves and even brewed in a shorter time.
TIPS FOR BREWING TEA
If you are a tea lover, we would like to remind you that there are some rules that you should pay attention to when brewing tea.
Before brewing the tea, add your tea into the teapot and then rinse it with some cold water. Then strain this water with the strainer part of the teapot. You can do this multiple times if you wish. In this way, the remaining dust in your tea will be thrown away and you will not have the taste of dust while enjoying your tea.
While placing your teapot on the teapot, first let the water boil and in the meantime wash the tea you will add to the teapot. Then place the teapot with the moist tea on the teapot full of water that you have left to boil. In this way, the water vapor from the teapot will constantly penetrate into the moist tea, and this temperature will soften the tea leaves even more, and thus allow them to be brewed more easily.
After transferring boiling water from the teapot to the teapot, first hold your teapot for a short time over the burning fire and when the tea in the teapot starts to bubble, remove it before it overflows or boils too much. In this way, the tea leaves in the teapot will completely meet with the hot and will leave itself more in the water. You can increase the brewing rate of the tea with this method, and in this way, the taste of the tea will be more intense.
After brewing your tea completely, let it rest for about 5 minutes on low heat. During this rest period, you will see the tea leaves sink to the bottom. When the tea leaves completely sink to the bottom, your tea will be ready and you will be able to drink it with pleasure.
