乌龙茶铁观音冲泡条件

一、铁观音好茶好水好茶具

俗话说：“水乃茶之母，器乃茶之父”，有了好茶叶，更需好水好茶具，才能将其神韵表现淋漓尽致。水最好是纯净水或矿泉水，茶具则“宜陶景瓷”(宜兴的陶器，景德镇的瓷器)为佳。

二、壶型与茶叶投放量

根据喝茶人数选定壶型，根据茶壶的容量确定茶叶的投放量。若茶叶是紧结半球型乌龙，铁观音茶叶需占到茶壶容积的1/3-1/4；若茶叶较松散，则需占到壶的一半。

三、水温要求

由于乌龙茶包含某些特殊的芳香物质需要在高温的条件下才能完全发挥出来，所以一定要用沸水来冲泡。

四、开汤时间

闽南和台湾的乌龙茶铁观音冲泡时浸泡的时间第一泡一般是45秒左右，再次冲泡是60秒左右，之后每次冲泡时间往后稍加数10秒即可。

五、冲泡次数

绿茶一般三次为最佳，乌龙茶安溪铁观音则有“七泡有余香”的说法，方法得当每壶可冲泡七次以上。

1. Good tea, good water, good tea set

As the saying goes: "Water is the mother of tea, and the device is the father of tea." If you have good tea, you need good water and tea sets to fully express its charm. The water is preferably pure water or mineral water, and the tea set is "Yitao Jingci" (pottery in Yixing, porcelain in Jingdezhen).

2. Pot type and amount of tea

The pot type is selected according to the number of people drinking tea, and the amount of tea is determined according to the capacity of the teapot. If the tea is a tight-knot hemispherical oolong, the tea needs to occupy 1/3-1/4 of the volume of the teapot; if the tea is loose, it needs to occupy half of the teapot.

3. Water temperature requirements

Oolong tea contains some special aromatic substances that need to be fully developed under high temperature conditions, so it must be brewed with boiling water.

Fourth, the soup time

When brewing Oolong tea from southern Fujian and Taiwan, the soaking time is generally about 45 seconds for the first brew, and about 60 seconds for the second brewing. After that, you can add a few 10 seconds to each brewing time.

Five, the number of brewing

Green tea is generally best three times, while oolong tea has the saying that "seven brews have a lingering fragrance". The method can be used to brew more than seven times per pot.
