The green tea brewing method recommends the upper investment method, the middle investment method, the lower investment method, etc.

1. Upward investment method.

Fill the teacup with enough hot water at one time, and then put the tea leaves when the water temperature is moderate. This method is mostly suitable for delicate fried green (such as special grade Longjing, special grade Biluochun, special grade Xinyang Maojian, Lu'an melon slices, old bamboo Dafang, etc.), delicate and roasted green (such as Zhuxi Longfeng, Tingxi Lanxiang, Huangshan Maofeng, Taiping Houkui, Jingting Luxue, etc.) and other green teas with excellent tenderness. The water temperature of this method should be very accurate, the more tender the tea, the lower the water temperature requirements, and some tea leaves can wait until 70 o'clock before putting it.

2. China Investment Law.

After adding the tea leaves, pour one-third of the hot water (especially for the tea leaves that have just been taken out of the refrigerator), wait for the tea leaves to absorb enough water, and then fill them with hot water when they are comfortable. This method is suitable for green tea that is delicate but very loose or very firm (such as Yingshan Yunmist, Bamboo Leaf Green, Wuyuan Mingmei).

3. Lower investment method.

Fill the tea leaves first, and then fill the teacup (bowl) with enough hot water at once. This method is suitable for jujube and counts general green tea with poor tenderness.

Introduction to green tea varieties:

1. Biluochun.

This green tea has its shape curled into a snail, hence its name. After brewing, the fragrance is tangy, the taste is mellow, the tea soup is green and clear, and the bottom of the leaves is translucent and tender yellow. It can also be called a treasure in Chinese green tea.

2. West Lake Longjing.

When you hear the name, you will also know its place of origin, which is produced in Hangzhou, Zhejiang, the color is emerald green, the tea soup after brewing is mellow and sweet, the aroma is elegant, and the soup color is green.

3. Lushan Yunwu tea.

This tea is produced in Jiujiang, Jiangxi, and is famous all over the world because of Lushan, this tea has a green appearance and a strong aroma.

4. Enshi Yulu.

The shape of this tea is firm, round, emerald green in color, tender green at the bottom of the leaves, and the taste is sweet and long-lasting after brewing, and the mouth is full of fragrance.

5. Emei mountain tea.

Its origin has a long history of tea making, the natural conditions are very superior, and the resources are abundant. This kind of tea is flattened in shape, very straight, tender green, oily and green, and the fragrance is incomparably fragrant after brewing.

The best way to brew green tea:

Take an appropriate amount of tea into the cup after the hot cup, and the hot cup interacts with the residual hot water, and the tea aroma is slowly baked. I pour hot water at around 85 degrees Celsius and stop when I reach cup 1 3 places. Then shake the cup so that the tea leaves are fully soaked in hot water.

At this time, the tea is fragrant, although it is not suitable to drink, it is a good time to smell the fragrance.

Try not to face the tea leaves when pouring water, which will damage the young leaves, especially the new green tea, reduce the quality of the tea, and cause the tea soup to be turbid. It is recommended to fill the rim of the cup with water. Wait for a while, the dry tea absorbs the water, and then flushes it to the fullest, still filling the water along the edge of the cup.

Teacup selection:

The biggest feature of green tea after brewing is that the tea leaves are stretched, and the shape in the water is full of changes, and appreciating the dynamic beauty of tea is also an aspect of tea culture. For a better view, a glass with good clarity is the first choice for brewing green tea.

Especially the delicate and precious green tea such as West Lake Longjing and Biluochun, after the green tea enters the water, it stretches and swims in the water, rolls up and down, and slowly sinks into the water in a few moments, or stands upright, or twists and turns, and the posture is graceful. Through the glass, this series of "green tea dances" can be seen in full view, which is very interesting.

In addition to glasses, white porcelain teacups are also a good choice. The porcelain tea set has a more elegant shape, and it feels delicate in the hand, which is more suitable for heat preservation than a glass. Good white porcelain is as smooth as jade, and the green tea soup inside can fully reflect the crispness and brightness of the tea soup.

The disadvantage of the white porcelain teacup is the lack of transparency, which makes it impossible to fully appreciate the dynamic changes of the tea leaves in the water. No matter what kind of tea set is used, the shape of the utensils should be small rather than large, and the large ones will have more water, and the tea leaves are easy to age.

Different green tea brewing methods are different, as follows:

1. Lower investment method

Throw in the tea first, then pour the water. When drinking green tea, put 3-4g of tea first, then pour 150-200ml of hot water at about 85 degrees, and pick up the teacup and shake it gently for 30 seconds.

2. China Investment Law.

Fill a part of the water first, and then finish the water after the tea. When brewing green tea, first pour one-third of the 85-degree hot water into the glass, then pour 3-4g of tea, wait for the tea leaves to relax, and finally pour in the remaining two-thirds of the water.

3. Upward pitching method

Fill with water first, then add tea. When brewing green tea, first pour 150-200ml of hot water at about 85 degrees into the glass, and then pour 3-4g of tea into the cup. Seeing that the tea leaves sink to the bottom of the cup, the soup color becomes tender green and bright, and after smelling the fragrance, you can take a sip and drink it.

4. Cool first and then heat the method

After boiling water scalding the cup, put the tea leaves into the cup, and then pour a small amount of drinkable room temperature water to soak the tea leaves for 2-3 minutes, the tea leaves absorb enough water, the tea pieces are fully stretched, and the tea cup is fully filled with enough hot water at one time.

Precautions for brewing green tea

1. It is forbidden to drink tea, because tea is polluted by pesticides and other harmful substances during cultivation and processing, and there is always a certain residue on the surface of tea.

2. The water temperature is also very particular when making tea, and the water temperature of green tea should depend on the quality of the tea, high-grade green tea should be about 80C, as for low-grade green tea, it should be brewed with 100C boiling water.

3. There is no unified standard for the dosage of green tea, the ratio of tea and water is roughly 1:50 60, and it can also be decided more according to the different tastes of each person.

After brewing green tea, you should pay attention to choosing the right tea set, choosing the right water, and paying attention to the water temperature of the tea.

1. Choose the right tea set.

Some tea sets are not suitable for green tea, such as thermos cups, purple clay pots with thick walls and poor air permeability. Green tea leaves are tender, very afraid of high temperatures, use these two kinds of tea sets to make tea, which is equivalent to boiling green tea, and the palatability of the brewed tea soup is greatly reduced.

2. Choose the right water.

Some people do not pay much attention to the selection of water, will use tap water to make tea, the tap water disinfection water in most cities in China has a particularly strong taste, not suitable for making tea, if you use this water to make tea, the higher the quality of the tea, the greater the psychological gap between the brewed tea soup. Therefore, when we make tea, we can use tap water or natural mountain spring water that has been filtered by Nenji.

3. Pay attention to the water temperature of making tea.

Many people when making tea, the water boils and rushes down directly, boiling water to make green tea is taboo, so that the tea leaves will appear yellow, the tea soup is bitter.

Brewing tips for green tea

1. Upward investment method.

First of all, you need to prepare a cup of hot water between 75-85 degrees, pinch up the appropriate amount of green tea, and throw it upwards into the water, this method can largely retain the aroma brought by high-quality green tea, so that it will not damage the aroma of the tea itself because the water temperature is too high, and the fragrance will be more intense after brewing, and the value of high-grade green tea will be exerted to the extreme.

2. China Investment Law.

This method is suitable for green tea with delicate tea, in simple terms, we only need to prepare hot water about 70-80 degrees, first put the tea leaves into the cup, the second step will pour one-third of the cup into the hot water, then we need to shake it fully to make its tea absorb enough water to comfort, and the last step is to inject hot water to seven minutes full.

3. Lower investment method.

First of all, this method is used with ordinary green tea, and the brewing method is in line with our inherent thinking. The first step is to put the green tea into the cup, and then prepare hot water of about 85 degrees and pour it into the cup to brew, this method can make the taste of ordinary green tea better, and the aroma can be wider and higher due to the higher water temperature.

Upper casting method: pour water first, then put the tea, and let the tea sink slowly.

The upper casting method is suitable for tea leaves with heavy bones and many buds, such as famous green teas such as Biluochun and Xinyang Maojian. Due to the heavy body bones, the tea leaves will slowly sink by themselves after being put into the water, gradually releasing the contents, and the tea sticks on the surface will also slowly spread out in the water, so that the tea soup will taste fresh and will not appear turbid because of too much tea.

Medium casting method: pour water first, about one-third of the container, then put tea, wait for the tea to soak for a while, and then fill the water.

The Zhongtou method is generally suitable for green tea such as Longjing. Pour boiling water into the cup about 1 3 first, when the water temperature is about 80, put the tea leaves in the cup, and then pour about 80 boiling water from the bowl to a place. When filling water, pay attention to the height of the water column, and you can also control the water temperature.

With this brewing method, there is no need to worry about the astringency of the tender green tea due to the high water temperature.

Bottom casting method: put tea first, then pour water.

Green teas such as Taiping Houkui and Lu'an Gua Pian are suitable for brewing with the lower casting method, their leaves are not particularly tender and the area is large, if you want to taste fuller, it is best to put tea first and then pour water.

The temperature of the water in which the green tea is brewed

When making green tea, many tea lovers are accustomed to brewing some fermented tea methods and directly brewing green tea with boiling water, but water temperature is a factor that has a great impact on the quality and taste of green tea.

Because green tea is made with new leaves and young shoots, overheated water will cause the tea to be ripe, and the ingredients in it will undergo sexual changes and loss, thus affecting the nutritional value and taste of the tea soup, so the water temperature of green tea is generally 80, so that the nutrients of the tea can be perfectly retained.
