Many people love drinking tea but, how do you make a good pot of tea? Making a good pot of tea requires good tea leaves, good water, a proper tea set, and the skills to pay the bills.
The amount of tea leaves used matters! Delicate light teas often require more tea leaves while heavier, more full bodied teas require fewer leaves for steeping. Water temperature also matters! Lighter teas are steeped at lower temperatures while darker teas are steeped near boiling.
Steeping tea requires very precisely boiled water, the steeping uses a precise method as well. High grade fresh green tea is best boiled at 80-90 degrees celsius. Different types of tea require different methods. Scented green tea uses all sort of different flowers and flavorings. This tea requires hotter water, around 100 degrees so you get all the flavor. Black tea should be brewed with a lid so that you don’t lose flavor.
Which tea is best to drink in each season. Drinking scented tea in the summer is good for keeping cool and preventing dehydration. Drinking green tea in the spring will help keep calm. Drinking oolong and black tea in autumn and winter will help with digestion and keeping warm.
How to prepare tea and how to drink it. The ratio of tea to water is 3-4 grams of dry tea,add 200-250 ml of boiling water,soak it for 3-4 minutes, and then taste it slowly.When drinking tea, be careful not to add water after drinking the tea in the cup.

When he just got to Beijing, he would frequently see Chinese people lining up on corner of the street to get a snack called jianbing. It was the first time he seen this snack in his life. So one day he decided to try them. He describes the stall as a plate-surfaced tricycle. There is a hole in the middle of the plate and a stove below it. On the stove is a round iron plate covering the hole. He then describes the condiments and toppings on top of the cart surrounding the stove to be put between the pancakes.
于是，我平生第一次知道了煎饼。
煎饼摊儿，实际上是一辆平板三轮车
炉子上架着一块圆形铁板，正好把洞口盖上，煎饼就是在这块铁板上摊成的。
铁板的周围是瓶瓶罐罐，放着酱、葱花儿、鸡蛋等等，还有一种方形的、油炸的、薄薄的金黄色面食，
一张张地摞在一起，那叫“薄脆”，要夹在煎饼中间。
Jian Bing is super cheap; about $2 in China.
It’s super fast to make; it takes only 2 to 3 minutes.
To make it you need:a pan, a brush, spatula, cooking oil, flour batter, scallions, cilantro, fermented soy paste, and red sauce.
Jian Bing is served folded in a piece of paper, it is crunchy on the inside and soft on the outside.
It’s tasty and it smells good.
