The first point of identification is to look at the outer packaging. No matter what kind of Dahongpao packaging, there must be the manufacturer and production date, registered trademark, geographical indication of origin and green environmental protection certification mark (green food, organic products). If you buy Dahongpao tea in bulk, it depends on the shape of the dry tea. Dahongpao made by traditional craft is rope-shaped and the rope is complete; Black or dark brown, shiny; The touch is elastic and slightly prickly; Smell dry, no peculiar smell. But it is more important to try tea, that is, brew it on the spot.

The first thing is to prepare a kung fu tea set, which can be covered with white porcelain. You can also use a teapot, but it is more troublesome and not suitable for beginners. Secondly, you need to master the essentials of brewing. Mr Yu Zelan of Wuyishan summed up three points: good water, boiled water and fast water. Good water is to choose water suitable for brewing, and the best is of course the mountain spring water in the south, but the general city does not have this condition, so you can choose high-quality bottled mineral water or pure water, which tastes sweet. Boiling water is boiling water. Generally, it can be boiled with electricity, and the temperature should be above 95 degrees Celsius. It is not advisable to swallow water with warm water from a hot kettle. Quick boiling water means boiling water along the bowl and pouring out the tea soup quickly. Generally speaking, 5-7 grams of tea should be put in a small bowl, and the soup should be served within 20 seconds. The basic principle is to be light rather than strong, and to be light before being strong. If you brew this way, you can basically brew the charm of Dahongpao.
