Water suitable for brewing black tea is odorless and contains a lot of oxygen, so that the tea leaves can roll around in the pot.

The high temperature of 95~100 degrees Celsius and the impact of the hot water during brewing can make the black tea leaves dance and spread evenly in the teapot.

Step4 : Steeping Tea Leaves

Step5 : Re-steep tea leaves

The second to third steeping time is about 20 seconds, and the fourth steeping time is 30 seconds, which can be adjusted according to your tea drinking habit. Adjust the steeping time and number of times according to your preference.
