Brewing tea is an art; it is also an attitude towards life.

To brew a good cup of white tea, the skill of pouring water is very important, which directly affects the aroma, taste and overall quality of the tea.

So why is pouring water so important?

Because water injection is the only part of the tea brewing process that requires full manual control, including the speed of water injection, the rapidity of the water flow, the trend, height, thickness of the water line, etc.

The following are several aspects of the impact of water injection on tea brewing.

Let's take a look together!

01 Water temperature control

Different water temperatures are suitable for different tea leaves. Controlling the water temperature well can ensure that the aroma and taste of the tea leaves are optimally released.

02 Choice of water pouring method

The water pouring method will also affect the taste of tea. Common water pouring methods include high pouring, low pouring, spiral pouring, etc. High pouring can increase the rolling of tea leaves, which helps the tea leaves to fully expand and release their aroma; low pouring is more gentle and suitable for tender tea leaves to avoid scalding the tea leaves.

03 Adjustment of water flow rate

The speed of water flow will affect the contact area and time between tea leaves and water, and thus affect the concentration and taste of tea soup. Quick water injection can make the tea leaves expand quickly, while slow water injection allows the tea leaves to release their flavor slowly over time.

04 Accurate water injection point

Different water injection points will also affect the taste of tea soup. Pouring directly on the tea leaves can make the tea leaves release their aroma quickly, while pouring on the edge of the container can make the tea leaves expand more gently.

05 Control of water injection amount

The amount of water injection determines the concentration of tea soup. The right amount of water injection can ensure that the tea soup is neither too diluted nor too strong.

06 Importance of water quality

The impact of water quality on tea brewing cannot be ignored. We recommend using purified water, which has the advantages of neutral pH value, multi-layer filtration, soft water, no odor and no debris. Tap water or water containing minerals may change the taste of tea, make the tea soup have unnecessary flavors, and affect the pure taste of tea.

07 Freshness of water

The freshness of water is also very important. Fresh water can better release the aroma and taste of tea, while water that has been stored for a long time may oxidize due to contact with air, affecting the quality of tea.
