      i have some  doubts about tea brewing.

      1°: what is best water to get  the best flavor from a tea?

      2°: how can i know tea temperature whitout a termometer?

      3°: how i know how much tea  leaves to put in a tea cup to make tea? what is the proportion or how can i measure it?

      Lately my teas got weak or strong and i get the feeling i”m not getting the best of the tea….today i made a lapsang souchong for the first time and put litle quatyty of tea leaves, but it got really strong, and to say the truth i don”t liked it, it tasted like ash.


      4° it is important to cover the tea cup so the flavor don”t scape or it is a mith?

      5°: I have read that to help tea leaves to  open better and give equal flavor to all tea cup is a good way to give it a litle stir. is truth?

      any other advice to make not fail in the moment of making the best tea cup?

      this is better learned by practicing, not by words. tea making is practice important. better see how good tea people do it (not bad tea people)

      Thank you for your answer but i discord: any knowledge has teoric basis and practice of the teoric basis, it can”t lack one nor another.

      I want if posible someone to answer that questions because it is important to me to know the answers to all of that questions.

      Mariano, you are right. Theory is important as a start. Leo has written a detail basic guideline at this page: 


      First you need read it to understand the basic concepts of proportions and temperature. Maybe your question will be a little different after that. People may respond to you with more helpful answer by that time. I agree totally with what Chawang said too.
