Ingredients

  • Water
  • Loose Chinese tea leaves

Instructions

  • In a teakettle or saucepan, bring water to a boil.
  • Rinse a teapot (earthenware or china is better than metal) with a small amount of the boiling water.
  • Measure loose tea into the pot.
  • One teaspoon of tea for each cup of water is a good rule of thumb, but the exact amount is really up to your own taste.
  • You’ll probably have to experiment a little to brew it just the way you like.
  • Pour the boiling water into the teapot, cover, and let it stand for a few minutes.
  • Pour the brewed tea into cups.

Notes / Tips / Wine Advice:

Chinese tea usually comes in loose form rather than in tea bags.
It is always drunk plain, without sugar, lemon, or milk.
Enjoy the serene elegance of Chinese loose-leaf tea with its delicate flavors, and savor the art of tea preparation in this traditional method.
