How to use Gaiwancha?

How to use Gaiwancha? With the popularity of tea culture in recent years, many friends are addicted to making tea. Covering a bowl of tea is a custom of drinking tea, which was very popular in Qing Dynasty. The following is how to use Gaiwancha.

There are two common methods to cover a bowl of tea with 1, namely, the three-finger method and the bowl-grasping method:

1, three-finger method

At present, the most common way to hold a bowl is to hold a bowl with three fingers, which is called the three-finger method; Because it looks elegant and feminine, many women like to use it.

There is a lid button at the top of the lid bowl, which is where we hold the lid when we open it. When filling soup, the pot cover adjusts the opening size, the index finger is placed on the button of the pot cover, the thumb and middle finger grasp the two sides of the bowl edge, the ring finger and little finger are bent and at the edge of the middle finger, and the bowl is covered vertically, so that soup can be filled.

Note that the ring finger and the little finger should not be tilted, which is a big taboo in tea art and will appear frivolous. If you don't hold it correctly, it's easy to burn your hand. You need to practice more and find the right position.

2, grasp the bowl method

Not many people use this technique, the posture is not as soft as the three-finger technique, and it is easy to burn because the whole hand presses the cover button. In tea ceremony, many men use it.

The key point of this method is to adjust the opening size of the pot cover first, press the pot cover button with your thumb, stick other fingers on the bottom of the pot cover bowl, with the pot cover facing yourself and the pot cover bowl vertical, so that you can hold soup.

This method of grasping bowls is simple to operate, can be mastered with one hand, and is heroic and atmospheric, and is mostly used by men.

Seven points for making a bowl of tea:

First, soft water brewing (pure water is the best);

Second, no matter what tea set is used, the tea leaves must be separated;

Third, the old water temperature of tea is high (100℃) and the tender water temperature of tea is low (80-90℃).

Fourth, the amount of tea (standard 120ml bowl): 3 g of green tea and black tea; Oolong tea 7g; 5-8g of Pu 'er tea;

5. Water injection technique: high fragrance and low hanging soup;

Sixth, the speed of soup: from fast to slow, the bubbles are elongated; Oolong tea should not be stuffy; The soup is thorough, leaving no residue;

7. Pay attention to heat preservation during the whole brewing process, and soaking tea leaves after cooling will affect the taste;

1. Before drinking Gaiwan tea, prepare tea sets and appropriate tea leaves in advance, then prepare a certain amount of boiling water in advance, immediately pour the prepared boiling water into Gaiwan, gently shake it to raise the temperature of Gaiwan, then pour the water out of the cup, and then immediately put the prepared tea leaves into Gaiwan.

2. After the tea leaves are put away, you should rush into 95-degree boiling water, and about 80% of them are full of bowls. After washing, cover the bowl immediately and soak for 1~2 minutes. At this time, the soup color in the bowl has been soaked, and you can start drinking tea anytime and anywhere. When drinking tea, you should hold up the saucer with your right hand, pick up the tea cover with your right hand and scrape it gently twice to scrape off all the foam and floating leaves in the soup color.

3. Hold the bowl askew, send it to your mouth, then gradually digest and absorb the soup color into your mouth with your mouth, and gradually taste the tea fragrance. When changing the cover bowl to taste tea, you should pay attention to the correct posture, and you should not stretch your head and mouth forward, let alone bow your head. Besides, don't let your mouth make noise when drinking tea. When drinking a covered bowl of tea, the lid can't be removed, and you can't blow into the covered bowl for inspection, otherwise it will affect the artistic beauty of tea tasting.

Pour the water into the tea bowl until it is eight minutes full. When filling water, the teapot should be pulled up, so that the high-rushing running water can rush down along the edge of the bowl, creating a vortex in the cup and pushing the tea leaves to rotate, which can give full play to refreshments.

How to use a bowl of tea? 1. What kind of tea does a bowl of tea usually make?

For green tea, it is generally suitable to soak it in a glass. But for other teas, such as oolong tea, white tea, scented tea and black tea, they can all be soaked in a bowl. Every time you brew, the amount of tea used is about 4 grams. Generally speaking, the tea brewed in a bowl will choose the better one, so that the tea brewed will have clearer fragrance and richer taste.

Second, can you drink tea directly with a covered bowl?

Of course. Cover the bowl and put this tea set. You can tell by its name. There are covers, bowls and tea boats. The purpose of the tea boat is not to get burnt when drinking tea, and the bowl can be used for drinking tea. Of course, you don't have to take off all the lids when you drink tea. Because the tea cover can be used to scrape tea gently, the taste of tea will be different with different scraping degrees. If you scrape harder, the taste of tea will be stronger, on the contrary, the taste of tea will be weaker.

What kind of tea does Gaiwancha usually make? Besides green tea, other black tea, oolong tea and white tea are all acceptable. Gaiwancha is very popular because the tea brewed with Gaiwancha tastes better. Of course, Gaiwancha, as a tea set, can also be directly used for drinking tea, which is also very convenient.
