Glass Brewing
Glass brewing
Almost any tea can be brewed in a basic glass. It's the fastest and easiest way to enjoy your favorite teas, and also the best way to enjoy visually appealing loose leaf teas, like our fine Chinese
white tea silver needle
,
dragon well green tea
, or
jasmine pearl
tea.
Below is a formal tea ceremony for brewing Silver Needles in a glass. While the formal process has several steps, in casual practice, using a glass to brew tea is as simple as adding about three grams of leaves to the glass, and then pouring water over the leaves.
1. Prepare the equipment: glass kettle, tall glass, tea ceremony tool set, tea well, tea holder, and tea towel.
2. Pour water from the glass kettle into the tall glass. This serves to warm and rinse it.
3. Resting the glass in your right hand, use your left hand to slowly swirl the hot water around the bottom of the glass. Do this for one counter-clockwise rotation.
4. After rinsing and warming the glass, pour the wtaer out into the tea well.
5. Use the teaspoon from the tea ceremony tool set to gently pull the leaves out of the tea holder into the glass. A typical quantity is three grams.
6. Pour hot water over the leaves. In ceremonies, water is poured using the "three nods of the phoenix" motion, rhythmically raising and lowering the pot three times as water flows into the glass.
7. Lastly, enjoy your tea. During a tea ceremony, this would be done by first breathing the aroma, then admiring the leaves in the glass, and, finally, drinking.
