ways of infusing Dragon Well tea

Tea leaves in the top left corner is the first-class Mingqian dragon well tea, which are bright yellow, with distinct appearance and of small sizes. There is basically no green leaves, making the tea a top one rank only second to the special Mingqian Dragon Well tea.
Tea leaves in the top right picture were picked around Tomb-sweeping Day, with most of the leaves in yellowish-green color. There are few green leaves among them, whose appearance is very distinct. These tea leaves are with high cost performance.
Tea leaves in the lower left picture were Yuqian Dragon Well tea picked 5 days after Tomb-sweeping Day. They are of larger sizes, in green color. There are obviously more green leaves among the dry ones and there are single leaves, but the shoots are more or less in buds.
Tea leaves in the lower right picture are Yuqian Dragon Well tea pick 10 days after Tomb-sweeping Day, with a lot of black and broad leaves. Besides, the amount of single leave is huge, which belongs to the lowest grade of Mingqian Dragon Well tea. However, the tea liquor is very strong.
First, let’s make a comparison of different dry leaves.
1. Prepare a transparent glass (here we use a glass of about 200 ml). At the beginning, pour thermophilic boiled water that takes one third of the glass, and drop about 10g Dragon Well tea leaves in it. Then, leave the glass alone to let the Dragon Well tea leaves slowly unfold.
2. When the Dragon Well tea leaves have all stretched, add more water into the glass.
The third way: Lower infusion
1. Make ready a teacup with a porcelain lid (The one we use here is about 150 ml). Drop a certain amount of Dragon Well tea leaves in the cup after warming it.
2. Add a little thermophilic boiled water.
