Extremely simple tips for making delicious tea

Water for making tea

To make delicious tea, it is best to use rainwater, however, rainwater is no longer clean in the industrial age, so you can use well water instead. In cities, there is no well water, so use purified bottled water.

If you are more careful, you can filter the water before heating it.

Choosing to buy tea – teapot

Tea: The best tea is often called one-bud tea by the elders – that is, tea is made from the youngest part of the tea tree. Tea buds picked and processed in winter will give the best quality.

Teapot: With a teapot, you should use a clay, lead-free, or Bat Trang teapot. This type of teapot will help retain heat best, making the tea stronger when brewed.

How to make tea

Usually, many people just pour water directly into the tea, without steeping the tea. This way, the layer of dust left on the dry tea will greatly reduce the flavor of the tea.

Therefore, it is best to pour a little boiling water to rinse the teapot, then put the tea in the teapot, continue to pour a little boiling water into the tea for 30 seconds to steep the tea, after removing this layer of water, you make tea as usual.

If you do not have boiling water to make tea, but use warm water, you should add a little sugar to the water, stir it to dissolve, and pour the water into the tea. So after 3 minutes you will have a delicious pot of tea.

Preservation and treatment when tea is moldy

Preservation of tea: When preserving, to avoid the tea from getting moldy, you should take a piece of quicklime, wrap it in cloth, then wrap it in paper, place it at the bottom of the tea jar, continue to put a layer of paper on top of the lime before putting the tea in the jar.
Moldy tea: If your tea is moldy, remove the moldy part of the tea, then steam it for 3 minutes, finally put the tea on a pan to dry over low heat. This way you can continue to preserve the tea. If you want to preserve it for a long time, you should put the tea bag in the refrigerator to ensure the flavor.
