Secrets to Brewing Aged White Tea 🍵 | 5 Tips for a Smooth and Fragrant Cup!

How to make white tea taste good when brewing? 🍵

As autumn deepens, it's the perfect season to savor aged white tea. Today, let me share five little tricks to brew aged white tea, ensuring your tea is smooth and fragrant! 🍂

🌿 Selecting Tea
Aged white tea is not just about the passage of time; it's about the maturation of tea quality. Not all white teas can be called aged white tea; only those that have withstood the test of time possess that unique charm.

🍵 Brewing Vessels
Lazy brewing? Kung fu brewing? Insulated cups,焖泡 pots, teapots, or Gaiwan, Zisha pots. Different vessels yield different flavors. Remember, choosing the right vessel is the first step to a well-brewed aged white tea.

🔥 Warming the Pot
Don't underestimate the step of warming the pot. It allows the tea leaves to release their aroma better in hot water, much like a hot pan with cold oil, letting the tea's aroma build up.

💧 Tea to Water Ratio
A 1:25 tea to water ratio is my personal recommendation. Too much tea won't make the flavor stronger; it will lose the agility of white tea.

🌡️ Brewing Temperature
Good tea is not afraid of boiling water. Only boiling water can stimulate the aroma of aged white tea. Pre-wetting the tea, also known as "welcoming the tea," is key to brewing a good aged white tea.

⏳ Brewing Time
Starting from the second brew, adjust the brewing time according to your taste. Remember, the color of aged white tea should go from light to dark and then back to light, which is a little trick to distinguish real aged white tea.

Finally, when the tea leaves have no flavor left, try pouring the leaves into a teapot and brewing them. The resulting tea will be more mellow, with a rich date aroma, perfect for a cozy autumn or winter drink.
