In the fast-paced modern life, do you need a convenient and beautiful tea tasting experience? Pu-erh tea and black tea, two popular tea beverages, with their convenient and easy brewing methods, are ideal for enjoying quality and tranquility in a busy life.
Pu-erh Tea: Convenient Brewing, Appreciating the Aged Fragrance
Pu-erh tea, as a bright pearl in Chinese tea culture, is made from Yunnan large-leafed sun-green gross tea by a specific process, and is mainly produced in the Yunnan area of the Lancang River Basin. It is divided into two categories: loose Pu’er tea and pressed tea. High-quality Pu’er tea has fat cords, red and bright soup color, strong aroma, mellow and sweet taste, and is resistant to storage, and its value is enhanced with the increase of aging years.
There is no need to complicate the process of brewing Pu-erh tea, a few simple steps can produce delicious tea. First of all, choose a good tea set. Purple clay pots, porcelain pots, Yaozhou kilns or glass cups are all good choices. The unique permeability and heat transfer properties of the purple sand pot can maximize the extraction of Pu-erh tea aroma and flavor; porcelain pots can clearly show the color of the tea soup; glass cups are convenient to observe the tea leaves stretching, adding the fun of tea tasting.
Before brewing, wash the tea set with boiling water to clean and raise the temperature. Put in tea leaves at 1:15 – 1:20 ratio of tea to water. For pressed tea, you only need to pry the complete leaves with a tea needle, and for loose tea, you can use it directly. For raw tea, the amount of tea can be reduced.
After the first injection of water is not over the tea leaves can be poured out, wake up the tea, no more than 5 seconds is best, the new shengpu is recommended to use 95 degrees Celsius water temperature along the wall of the cup slowly injected, the old ripe Pu can be used to boil water straight to the tea leaves. For the first 3 brews, the tea should be brewed immediately, and the steeping time should be increased by 5 – 10 seconds for each brew, so as to fully stimulate the aroma and flavor of the tea leaves, and to avoid the bitterness and astringency of the tea broth caused by the excessively long steeping time.
Pour the tea broth into the fair cup thoroughly, and use a tea strainer to filter the broken tea to ensure the soup color is clear and bright. When dividing the tea, first smell the aroma of the lid of the cup, then observe the color of the soup, and finally divide it evenly into tasting cups, with the same concentration of tea soup in each cup. Judge the brewing effect by observing the state of the leaf bottom, it is better if the leaves are fully stretched. Adjust the time for the next brewing according to the strength of the tea broth, quality Puerh can be brewed 8 – 15 times.
Black Tea: Easy to Brew, Enjoy the Sweet Taste
Black tea, as a fully fermented tea, is the most stomach-warming tea among the six major tea categories. During the fermentation process, more tea polyphenols are converted into theaflavin, thearubigin and other substances, making its taste mild and mellow.
The brewing of black tea is equally convenient. If you want to carefully taste the tea in terms of aroma and flavor, a gaiwan is a good choice. Tea brewed in a covered bowl can be quickly filled with water and quickly produce soup, which can more objectively and truly reflect the quality characteristics of black tea. If you want to drink tea is more convenient, with a glass cup or ordinary cup of water can also be soaked, and soaked out of the black tea soup will not have a bitter and astringent flavor, 300 – 500 ml cup of water, put 2 – 3 grams of black tea can be.
It is recommended to use 80 ℃ – 90 ℃ water brewing, this temperature is the temperature of the water after boiling and then cooled down. If the water temperature is too high, the tea soup may taste sour; if the water temperature is too low, the tea soup may taste bitter. However, if the black tea contains both fresh buds and sweet leaves, it is fine to brew it directly with boiling water.
The amount of tea you put in also affects the taste. Generally speaking, for a 130ml gaiwan, put about 5 grams of tea leaves; when steeping in a glass cup, for a 300 – 500ml cup, put about 2 – 3 grams of tea. The amount of tea thrown and the tea’s brewing resistance are not only related to the method of brewing tea, but also related to the quality of tea. Good quality black tea, such as YMtea’s Ancient Tree Black Tea, has a high brewing resistance, with stable color and taste after 7-8 infusions.
When brewing black tea, the use of fixed-point techniques is conducive to stimulating the aroma of the tea soup. The tea can be brewed after the water is injected, and there is no need to smother the tea, so that the aroma of the tea can be more elevated. The taste of black tea is mainly sweet and flavorful, which is highly acceptable and very friendly to people who have no experience in drinking tea.
