Brewing Guide:
Awake Tea:
Pour in boiling water until overflow slightly for rinsing the tea leaves but not for drinking.Then pour out the water.
The first infusion:
Hold the kettle up high so that the boiling water pour into tea pot, possibly forming a circle. This helps mix tea leaves and hot water evenly
Serving:
Since Shui Xian/Shui Hsien are good for multiple servings, you should remove tea liquor completely from tea pot for each serving so that tea leaves are not soaked in tea liquor between servings.
Shui Xian/Shui Hsien can be brewed for 3-8 times before the tea starts to lose its flavor as your like. Each brewing time can be slightly longer than the previous.
Aftertaste:
Shui Xian/Shui Hsien have delightfully fresh floral taste and aroma.Usually more oxidized tea will have a stronger aftertaste. You can now smell the empty tea cup as well since the aroma stays with tea cup.
