- Control of water temperature: yellow tea after composting, most of the nutrients in the tea has become soluble, general boiling water can make the nutrients dissolved, so the water temperature is not very high, 70 ℃ ~ 75 ℃ can not be soaked cooked tea buds. Before brewing, first of all, the Teacup should be preheated to maintain a suitable brewing temperature. After brewing, it should be covered with a lid to keep warm to prevent a rapid drop in temperature.
- Brewing Essentials: Take Junshan Yinzhen Tea as an example, preheat the Teacup with boiling water, clean the tea set and wipe the cup dry to avoid the tea buds absorbing water and not easy to stand up. Use a teaspoon to gently remove about 3 grams of yellow tea from the tea canister and place it into the Teacup to be brewed. Use 50 to 60 ml of boiling water per gram of tea. Using a kettle, pour boiling water at about 70℃ into the cups until the tea buds are halfway wet, then pour boiling water at about 70℃ into the cups. A little later, rinse again until it is 7/8 full. Cover with a glass lid piece. After about 5 minutes, remove the glass lid.

Therefore, yellow bud tea is usually brewed for 10 minutes before tasting.
