The culture of a tea drinking in China contains more than 13 centuries. During this time the way of tea brewing changed a little. So, when originally in China, only green grades of tea were grown up, dry tea leaves were pounded in special marble or jade mortars to a powdery state, filled in with a small amount of water and shaken up by the bamboo stick split on the end in a whisk. With the advent of yellow and red tea, ways of tea leaves changed a little.
Instruction
1. The most important that needs to be had correctly to make China tea is water. Without the good water which isn't containing caustic impurity of chlorine even strictly following the Chinese tradition of tea brewing, you won't be able to disclose its taste completely. Therefore use for a zavarivaniye spring water or that that is possible buyfor in shop.
2. Correctly pick up ware. For a zavarivaniye the Chinese use гайвань – a porcelain cup in the form of a drinking bowl with a cover of smaller diameter, than the upper edge of a cup. In a cover surely there has to be an opening that the tea leaf didn't rot at a zavarivaniye. Some tea from a gayvana is given without uncovering, having slightly shifted it so that the aroma didn't disappear. It is also possible to use a teapot or a special vessel with an insert in the form of a glass strainer.
3. In a glass strainer a half or a third of its volume of a tea leaf is filled that makes about 10-25 grams. Temperature of water poured into nonfermented, baitcha or yellow tea shouldn't be more than 90 wasps at all, only for red teas which at us are called black, use practically boiled water – from 90 to 100 wasps.
4. Red teas are filled in with boiled water once and infuse from 3 to 7 minutes. White and green – at least 3 times. High-quality Pu-erh and Oolong tea can be filled in with water to four times.
5. Yellow teas are made at the rate of the 3rd gram of a tea leaf on 250 ml of water. It is possible to make these grades to 8 times, at the same time each time time of its insisting has to increase from 30 to 90 seconds.
