Black tea brewing skills:

1, the choice of tea set is very important. High-grade famous black tea generally uses goblets. It is recommended to choose transparent glass without engraving, which looks more delicious. Of course, it is better to have a cup with a better design. There is also a teapot with two ear cups, which has its own inner container for filtering tea leaves. After the tea leaves are separated, the taste will be better. The same tea set also needs drifting cups, filter cups and so on. It is also very suitable for drinking tea in the office.

Another is the traditional Kung Fu tea-making set, which is suitable for making any kind of black tea, whether it is a single bud, a bud or two. Let's invite three or two friends to have tea and enjoy this good tea in our hands.

Don't make a mistake about the amount of tea. Making tea at home is mostly based on experience. The ratio of tea to boiled water should also be determined as appropriate. Brewing black tea can be decided according to the number of tea drinkers. Per person 1 teaspoon (about 2g tea). However, if you want to brew good black tea, it is recommended to brew with 2 cups of black tea (about 5g). The increase of tea quantity will be beneficial to the dissolution of taste, while more water and less tea will affect the taste.

3. Control the water temperature. When brewing black tea, the water temperature should be 90-95 degrees. The overall water temperature will be higher than green tea. Black tea is a kind of sensitive tea. High temperature can stimulate the high aroma of black tea, but at the same time the taste of tea soup may be bitter. The taste of low-temperature tea soup will be mild, but the aroma will be low. Many raw materials of black tea are of high grade, so try to avoid using boiled water directly, so the water temperature can be controlled at about 85 degrees.
