There is a small and exquisite tea set called "Four Treasures of Teahouse", that is, the Chaoshan furnace produced in Chaoshan, Guangdong Province-ceramic magnetic wind furnace or tin wind furnace; Yu Shuqian-a flat and light magnetic kettle with a water capacity of about 250ml;; Chen Meng jar-a small purple teapot made in Yixing, Jiangsu Province, with a water capacity of about 50 ml; Ruochenou- a set of four small white porcelain cups, made in Jingdezhen, Jiangxi Province, each with a water capacity of about 5 ml. Now the tea set for making oolong tea is still inseparable from the "teahouse Four Treasures of the Study", but it has changed and become more practical and convenient. The commonly used "teahouse Four Treasures of the Study" has a small electric stove, a steel kettle (some electric stoves and kettles are called "instant soaking"), a steel tea tray (or plastic tea tray) and a "white porcelain bowl" (bell-shaped, 5.5 cm high, 8.2 cm in diameter and 4.5 cm in bottom diameter; This kind of covered bowl is very convenient for putting tea leaves, smelling aroma, boiling water and pouring tea dregs) and a small teacup, thus having the conditions for making oolong tea.

Warm pot and cup: Warm pot is the same as Chaozhou, tea is still grasped by hand, but the warm cup is hot inside and outside.
Baked tea: Compared with Chaozhou style, the time is shorter, because high-grade tea is generally better preserved.
Tea: The amount of tea depends on the nature of tea.
Flushing: pour tea about fifteen seconds after flushing. Use this time to pour a glass of water back into the pool.
Pour tea: pour directly into the fragrant cup without fair mug. The first cup is poured by one third, the second cup is still, and the third cup is full.
Smell the fragrance: put the tea cup and the fragrant cup together in front of the guests. (On the right is a teacup, and on the right is a fragrant cup)
Shake the pot: wrap the pot with cloth and shake it vigorously three times between soaking. Shake the pot to raise the internal and external temperature. Don't shake it after pouring boiling water to increase its extract. This is just the opposite of Chaozhou style in shaking pots, because the quality of tea used is different.

Baking tea: after the tea leaves are put into the pot, if the tea leaves are not wet when they are caught, they can be baked. If it is wet, it can be baked several times. Baked tea is not baked on the stove, but baked at water temperature, which can make the rough old tea, musty smell disappear and the fresh fragrance overflow quickly. Tidal teapot should be sealed, and the air holes should be able to block water. When drying tea, you can wet the joints with water to prevent water seepage when flushing. )

Shake the pot: When the water is full, lift it quickly. As for the tablecloth, hold down the air hole and shake it left and right quickly, which is intended to make the leaching amount of tea extract even. If the first bubble shakes four times, the second bubble and the third bubble decrease by one in turn.
Pour tea: shake the pot hole and pour it into the sea of tea. After pouring the tea soup for the first time, wrap it in cloth and shake it vigorously to make the humidity in the pot uniform. The number of shakers is opposite to the number of shakers. The first bubble shakes more and less, and then shakes less and shakes more.
Sub-cup: Chaozhou style ends with three bubbles, and its requirement is that the three bubbles of tea and soup must be consistent, and you can't be distracted in the process of making tea. After the three bubbles are finished, you can safely share a cup of tea with your guests. 1.

Pot ironing: When ironing the pot, the pot cover is placed obliquely at the mouth of the pot, and the pot cover is ironed together.
Put tea: after pouring out the water used to iron the pot, put the lid on the cup and wait until the water vapor in the pot is dry before putting tea. Pour the fine powder in the lower part and the coarse powder near the spout to avoid clogging.
Rinse: until the foam overflows the spout.
Washing cups: The teacup used in Zhaoan style is an eggshell cup, which is extremely thin and light. When washing cups, the cups are placed in the center of a small dish, and each cup contains about one third of water. When washing cups, quickly pour the first two cups of water into the last two cups with both hands, hold the bottom of the cups with the middle finger, move the thumb, control the balance with the index finger, and wash the cups on the cups. The action must be agile and skillful, and the level of tea making technology can be judged from the cup washing action.
Zhaoan body records the concentration of tea soup by washing cups. The first bubble washes with both hands, the second bubble washes with both hands back and forth, and the third bubble washes with one hand. The host drinks last. After the cup overflows, wipe off a small amount of water with your middle finger, pinch it with your index finger and thumb and throw it away.
Pour tea: be careful not to pour it slowly, but to pour it by patrol. Keep the first cup for yourself, because there may be a greater chance of remaining, and the tea should stop dripping. After three rounds of inspection, the tea leaves with heavy roasting will lose their fragrance and cannot be taken.

Fourth, skills.
1. Oolong enters the palace
Is to put oolong tea into a teapot, and Gong is to describe the importance of a teapot.
2. The tea leaves are fragrant, and the spring breeze caresses your face.
The production process of oolong tea is very complicated. Washing tea to keep fragrance means washing tea with water, which can make tea absorb some water and make tea in a fragrant state. Spring breeze blowing refers to scraping off the foam and tea leaves on the surface of the teapot with the lid of the pot to make the tea soup in the pot clearer and cleaner.
3. Oolong goes out to sea and washes the fairy face again
Tasting kungfu tea is the essence, that is, soaking in water first, then making tea, then soaking in water, and then soaking in water. Generally, the tea brewed by soaking in water first is not drunk, but poured into the sea of tea. Because the tea soup is amber, flowing from the hukou to the tea sea is like a dragon entering the sea, so it is called an oolong entering the sea.
There is no gain from washing the fairy face again. Wuyi Jiuqu River is a metaphor for cliff carving. Cover the pot after the second brewing, wash the pot surface with boiling water, and heat it inside and outside, which is beneficial to the distribution of tea fragrance.
Traveling around the mountains, loving mothers feed their children
After the teapot has made tea, dry the residual water at the bottom of the teapot on the tea towel and pour the tea into the fair cup. This process is called touring, and a loving mother breast-feeds her child.
5. The auspicious dragon is raining, and the phoenix nods.
It is auspicious to pour the tea soup in the fair mug into the fragrant cup quickly and evenly, which is called auspicious dragon rain. When fair mug had little tea soup left, he ordered to pour tea in a rhythmic place, demanding one high and one low. This method is called Phoenix Nodding.
6. Dragon and phoenix are auspicious, and carp turn over
Inverting a teacup engraved with a dragon on a fragrant cup engraved with a phoenix is called auspicious dragon and phoenix, and it is also called harmony between husband and wife. Turn the buckled teacup and incense cup over together, and call the carp to turn over. Ancient myths and legends in China say that carp can turn over and leap into the dragon gate.
7. Serve tea, technique: multi-handed cups.
At this time, the dragon and phoenix cups are presented to the guests with both hands, and the dragon and phoenix are required to face the guests, from right to left, in order to show respect for the guests.
8. Technique: Appreciate two colors and like to smell tea.
Lift the incense cup at a 45-degree angle, put it in the palm of your hand and roll it quickly. When the cup is fragrant, invite the guests to smell the tea. As the temperature of the sipping cup rises, the ceramic oolong pattern will change color, and then you will see the change of tea soup color and phoenix, so it is called appreciation of two colors.
Like to smell tea is the first smell of tea, that is, let guests smell the residual fragrance at the bottom of the cup. The first smell is mainly the purity of tea fragrance, to see whether it is fragrant or not.
