Three-Stage Brewing Method to Unleash the Vintage Charm of Dark Tea 🍵

How to make dark tea taste good and simple when brewing? 🍵

Hey there, my dear friends! Today, I'm sharing a super simple and beginner-friendly method to brew dark tea at home, so you can enjoy the taste of teahouse-level brews in your own space! 🌟

🌿 First Rinse (Head Brew):
Start by using boiling water at 100°, pour it from the 4 o'clock direction with a thick stream, and observe the tea leaves slowly awakening. When the big bubbles have finished rising, and small bubbles start to appear, with the tea's base color deepening and a fragrance reminiscent of agarwood, matsutake mushrooms, or licorice, it's time to pour the first brew.

🍂 Early Stage Brewing:
After the rinse, for the first 1-4 infusions, use boiling water from the 4 o'clock direction with a medium stream, steep for 5-8 seconds, and then pour. The tea will be rich and mellow, like sipping on a bowl of rice porridge, with every sip filled with a sense of fulfillment.

🌼 Middle Stage Enjoyment:
For the 5-8 infusions, still using boiling water, pour from the 3 o'clock direction with a medium-thick stream, let it steep for 10-15 seconds before pouring. The resulting tea is especially sweet and pure, with a lingering sweetness felt on both cheeks and the underside of the tongue.

🍃 Final Stage Aftertaste:
Lastly, for the 9-12 infusions, to rekindle the tea's flavor, pour boiling water from the 4 o'clock direction, cover, and let it steep for about 15-20 seconds before pouring. Savor the tea's aftertaste, and feel the moist sweetness in your throat after swallowing, which is truly unforgettable.

This method is easy to learn, so go ahead and give it a try, and elevate your dark tea brewing skills to new heights!
