Washing tea can remove the air-conditioning of tea leaves. Wake up tea leaves, but not all tea leaves need to be washed. It should not be too much, drink fresh dry tea, if the amount of water is too much, it is easy to release some nutrients in the tea leaves in large quantities due to too much steeping.

Tea polyphenols, amino acids, etc. are beneficial to human health, and can also make the tea soup more delicious. If more than three seconds, some nutrients will be lost in large quantities.
【3】The water temperature should not be too high
When washing tea, you should also pay attention to the control of the water temperature. Generally, hot water of 80 degrees Celsius is used to wash the tea. If the water temperature is too high, it will destroy the amino acids, vitamins, and other components in some famous green tea, and the aromatic substances in the tea will also be destroyed, which will evaporate a lot.

Gongmei and Shoumei are relatively thick and old leaves, and the substances contained in them are difficult to extract, so they can be used to moisten the tea for a long time.
Some years of old white tea can also be brewed differently, and the temperature of white tea needs to be controlled between 90 degrees and 100 degrees. The higher the tenderness, the lower the temperature.
