A fairness cup isn’t necessary if you’re drinking alone, just pour directly into your cup

[琪猫蓝]

Wow, your tea artistry is more exquisite than mine, and I'm a native Chinese

This is for beginners, but you don’t even bother mentioning the water temperature. Wonderful.

[SalvationTenshi]

I count 10-15 sec. in the moment when the water touches the tea leafs. It depends on the tea as well. For example aged Pu-Erh tea first brewed for 40 sec. rinsed and the next 19 brews for 30 secs for drinking.

If anyone has ordered from Sophie's Cuppa in Oakland, California let us know what you thought. Their online website changed my understanding of tea more than anything else so far.

I'm amazed that Chinese teas can be brewed in just seconds while black tea takes minutes.

Boil one glass water on a stove by vessel pour 2 spoon tea powder, add 1 spoon sugar boil for 10 minutes, and finally add 2 cup milk, then filter it and enjoy, this is Indian tea style

Can we use this method also for green and black teas?

[jt_miami]

I noticed you said the first infusion normally isn't drunk its considered as a cleansing/rinse. Why is that?

[Abdullah-cjmh]

So 100c is a good temperature for most teas?

[ДенисТерехов-бя]

Not entirely true. The shedding time depends directly on the density of the sheet and the method of twisting the sheet

[SpursyBirdy]

As a british person
I admire you used a kettle unlike th US but its not the right colour
7.5/10

[quickcrafts]

whats the highest quality matcha in the world?

[snehalkrishnan]

I’m looking for a good organic Oolong, any suggestions?

[gordvpn]

If tea has to be rinsed is it really worth drinking?

[timeafarkas]

would the first steep (the one you don't drink) be the same temperature as the rest? (Such as, 80C for green tea, etc)

[snehalkrishnan]

Is this method better than using a French press?

[vergil]

Do you have any recommend teas to drink for stress?

[ahmadmustaqim]

oh no! I've brewed my Pu Erh tea over 4 minute, do I still get the benefits?

[qzwx]

When to stop? When you start feeling tea drunk...

If you know, you know...
