Ever made tasteless tea? Don't blame the tea!

Low temperature of the water for brewing
Generally speaking, the solubility of tea is proportional to the water temperature. If the water temperature is low, then the contains of tea dissolved a few, which results in inadequate flavor of the tea.
If you are trying to brew Pu’er tea or oolong tea, it is recommended to make the tea with boiling water instead of warm water. The tea’s flavor is uneasy to taste if the tea is brewed in warm water, and the tea soup becomes boring. Whereas, tender green tea like Dragon Well Tea and Huang Shan Mao Feng Tea are more suitable for brewing in hot water at a little bit lower temperature than 100° C.
The tea is not “awake”
The process of “waking tea” is also called “washing tea” which means you wash tea leaves with hot water to let them awake through touching fresh air and moisture. In this way, the tea taste better in later brewing.
Of course the methods of waking tea different teas are not the same, when brewing dark tea, oolong tea and black tea, you can wake them in boiling water for about 3 to 5 seconds. For more delicate loose leaves like green tea, white tea and yellow tea, you need to wake them in water at 85° C -90° C. Tips: the process of waking tea has a decisive effect on the intrinsic quality of the tea, and has a direct impact on the later brewing. If the tea doesn’t awaken enough, then first couple of cups would be boring.
Inappropriate affusion
If the use of fixed-point water injection speed is too slow, it will cause tea containing substances can not be fully dissolved or mixed with water, resulting the separation of tea leaves and water. It is practical to increase the water injection speed, or change the injection way, such as using pot pouring water from a height to let tea leaves fully saturated with water, then the tea aroma and flavor will be mixed together .
At tea time, you may start from these three problems to solve, and then the taste of the tea will be much better.
