Proportion: It directly reflects the shade of the tea. The appropriate shade is good, so that we can taste the color and aroma of tea, at the same time, the appropriate shade for the extraction of substances in tea is influential, which not only affects the color, aroma, taste of tea, but also affects the effect of tea on the human body. The shade can be measured scientifically, but usually few people pay attention to this indicator, or to grasp their own, generally it is appropriate to light not strong. Generally speaking, the weight ratio of green tea to water is 1:80. Commonly used white porcelain cups, each cup can put 3 grams of tea. General glass, each cup can put 2 grams.

Water temperature: Different water temperatures are required for different teas, depending on the grade of different kinds of teas. Generally speaking, black tea, green tea, oolong tea has boiling water brewing is still better to make the effective ingredients in the tea quickly leached. Some of the high tenderness of green tea, such as Huangshan Maofeng, West Lake Longjing, the application of 80℃-90℃ boiling water brewing, so that the tea green bright, pure aroma, sweet taste.

Time: Usually 3 to 10 minutes. Soaking for a long time not only the taste of tea is not good, but also easy to bubble out the substances in the tea that are harmful to the human body.

The number of times: generally 3 to 4 times is good, as the saying goes: "the first road water, two tea, three four quickly climb." This means that the tea brewed out of the first way is not the best, drinking the second way is just, drinking three or four ways of water is OK. When drinking tea, when 1/3 of the tea is left in the cup, boiling water should be added to maintain the proper concentration of the tea.
