      Green tea, brewed and drank now.

      The reason why green tea has health functions such as antioxidant, free radical scavenging, anti-aging, and anti-virus is mainly due to the polyphenols in tea. If the brewing temperature is too high or the brewing time is too long, the polyphenols will be destroyed, and the tea soup will not only turn yellow, but the aromatic substances in it will also evaporate and be lost. Generally speaking, the optimal water temperature for brewing green tea is 80°C, and the water should be boiled for the first time. The brewing time is 2-3 minutes, and it is best to brew and drink it now. The ratio of green tea to water should be appropriate, preferably 1:50. 3 grams of tea leaves are often used to brew 150 ml of water. The brewed green tea soup should be of moderate thickness. The brewing method of yellow tea and white tea is similar to this.

      Black tea, brew it longer healthy

      Different from green tea, soaking in high water temperature can promote the effective dissolution of the flavonoid health-care substances in black tea, which not only makes the taste and aroma stronger, but also better exerts its health-care functions. Therefore, it is best to use boiling water to brew black tea, and the longer it is brewed, the better. Generally speaking, 5 minutes is best. Black tea requires about the same amount of water as green tea. Kung Fu red strip tea can be brewed 3 to 4 times, while black broken tea can be brewed 1 to 2 times.

      For oolong tea, more tea leaves should be added.

      The water temperature for brewing oolong tea is also boiling. The amount of oolong tea used for making tea is generally 10 grams, which is about half of the volume of the purple clay pot. Oolong tea can be brewed 5-6 times, the time can be from short to long, 2-5 minutes is appropriate.

      For dark tea, the focus is on washing the tea.

      Dark tea, represented by Pu'er tea, is a post-fermented tea with relatively coarse raw materials. The characteristic of dark tea is that it "becomes more fragrant as it ages" and requires a more intense boiling water brewing process to fully dissolve the ingredients contained in it. Loose tea is easy to smell, while pressed brick tea needs to be cooked. When brewing black tea for the first time, you need to quickly wash the tea in 10 seconds, that is, first put the tea leaves into the cup, pour in boiling water, pour out the water after a while, pour in boiling water again, and cover the cup. This not only filters out the impurities of the tea, but also makes it more fragrant and mellow. Subsequent brewing time is usually 5 minutes.
