Do you know the difference between brewing tea for testing vs.
for tasting?
The purpose of brewing tea for testing is to bring out all the
bad aspects of tea. The purpose of brewing tea for tasting, on
the other hand, is to avoid all the bad aspects of tea. As you
can see, the two actually serve completely opposite purposes.
When brewing tea for testing, we normally use hot boiling water
to brew tea for 5 minutes in a covered teaware. This will bring
out all the bad tastes and smells of tea. When brewing tea for
tasting, a seasoned tea master knows how to brew a tasty cup of
tea by adjusting water temperature and brewing time based on
characteristics of individual tea. For examples of various tea
tasting brewing methods, please visit our site at

carefully developed by our house tea master, Ms. Di Liu, the
first Tea Ceremony Artificer in China, which is ranked higher
than the title of Senior Tea Master.
