In Japan, tea drinking is a kind of ceremony, tea is brewed with knowledge and love, it is recommended to use a teapot made of faience, porcelain, glass or clay to brew tea leaves. In no case should the kettle be metal, as an oxidative reaction will occur, which will have a very negative effect on the taste and quality of the resulting drink. Ideally, the teapot should be porcelain, because porcelain keeps the temperature perfectly, does not heat up much, the taste of tea from porcelain dishes is rich and bright.
Green tea brewing steps:
- The teapot must be hot, for this it is pre-rinsed with boiling water. The amount is calculated at the rate of one teaspoon per cup. Tea leaves are poured with boiling water, but the temperature should not exceed 90 degrees Celsius, as soon as the water heats up to small bubbles, consider it ready for making a tea drink.
- Close the kettle with a lid. If you are brewing tea in a cool room, you can put a special heating pad on the teapot for better brewing. Infuse the drink for one and a half to two minutes, during which time the tea leaves will have enough time to turn around.
- Pour into cups, the room will be filled with an incredible aroma of fresh tea. Fill the kettle with boiling water again, if you have prepared the tea leaves correctly, then it can be topped up up to five times. It is better to store tea in dark glass jars, sunlight has a negative effect on the quality of the tea product. Do not store tea leaves in metal containers, although tea is often sold in them. Try to store green tea for no more than a year, otherwise it will lose its healing properties and aroma.
