Tea-making is an ancient tradition in China that has been passed down through the generations. From its beginnings as a medicinal brew, tea has become a much-loved beverage and part of Chinese culture. Today, making tea is more than just pouring hot water over leaves – it’s an art form that involves careful preparation and attention to detail.
The next step involved in Chinese tea-making traditions is heating up water to just below boiling point (around 85°C) so as not to burn off any delicate flavors or aromas contained within the leaves themselves - this can take some skill! After adding loose leafed teas directly into either cups or pots filled with heated water they should be steeped according to their individual brewing instructions; usually between 2–3 minutes depending on desired strength/flavor profile desired by each individual drinker .
Finally , once all steps have been completed correctly , one can enjoy sipping on their freshly brewed cup/pot full of fragrant goodness ! Tea drinking itself also often comes accompanied by many other rituals such as silent appreciation for its aroma prior consumption , sharing stories about past experiences associated with particular types & varieties etc . All these help add further depth & enjoyment when engaging in this age old tradition !
