How much temperature of water is suitable for tea?

When brewing tea, the water temperature is extremely particular, and the flavor of the same tea will be completely different when brewing the same tea at different water temperatures, so generally everyone will understand the tea in advance when brewing tea. Know the characteristics of the tea, and then choose the most suitable water temperature for brewing when brewing, so that the best flavor of the tea can be brewed, which is also the best flavor of the tea.

After boiling the tea with water, let it cool naturally to the desired temperature before brewing the tea leaves. Generally speaking, the temperature of the tea brewing water is related to the leaching speed of the extractable substances in the tea. The higher the water temperature, the faster the leaching speed, and the stronger the tea soup in the same brewing time; Conversely, the lower the water temperature, the slower the leaching rate, and the lighter the tea soup.

The ancients were very particular about the temperature of tea water, and there was a saying of "three boils". A boil like a crab-eyed fish, jumping up from the pot, there is a slight sound of "dripping", which is called tender soup; The second boil is like a spring on the edge, and the bubbles come out one after another, which is called medium soup; Three boils are water waving in a pot, which is called old soup. If the water has been "boiled three times", the soup is considered too old to be used. Therefore, the ancients especially emphasized that it was necessary to boil water for tea, to boil over a large fire, not to boil slowly, and it was most appropriate to brew tea with "two boiling" water. These statements still have reference value for modern people.
