Tips for drinking tea for beginners
A must-read for tea drinkers: Understand the six major tea categories in one minute + a guide to teaware pairings. I'm often asked: What's the difference between green tea, black tea, and oolong tea? And with so many teaware options, how do I choose the right one? Today, I'll briefly explain "How to categorize the six major teas + the best teaware combinations for them." Even beginners can easily get started! Green tea | Unfermented, refreshing, perfect for spring and summer, with a fresh, tender flavor.
1. Recommended tea sets: glass cups/white porcelain covered bowls - transparent glass allows you to appreciate the tea leaves stretching, beautiful and practical ~ Black tea | fully fermented, sweet and smooth - suitable for autumn and winter, warm and easy to drink
2. Recommended tea sets: small pot/white porcelain covered bowl/purple clay teapot - if you want a stronger aroma, a covered bowl or purple clay teapot is the best choice! White tea | slightly fermented, gentle and healthy, the older it ages, the more fragrant it is, suitable for daily drinking
3. Recommended tea sets: Gaiwan/Large pot/Glass pot - If you want to wake up the tea and want to brew a sense of age, use a gaiwan to brew slowly~ Yellow tea | Lightly fermented, low-key and soft. The taste is between green tea and white tea. There are not many
4. Recommended tea sets: Gaiwan/white porcelain pot - relatively niche, use a gaiwan to brew, gentle and delicate without losing the fragrance ~ Oolong tea | semi-fermented, rich aroma with floral, fruity, and roasted aromas
5. Recommended tea sets: Zisha teapot/ceramic pot/gaiwan - veteran tea drinkers use a teapot, beginners use a gaiwan, making great tea with ease! Black tea | Post-fermentation, the older the better ☕️ The tea is strong and good for the stomach, suitable for lovers of cooked tea
6. Recommended tea sets: purple clay teapot/stoneware teapot/fairness cup - if you want to drink a richer taste, a teapot with strong heat preservation is more suitable!
