Pu'er Tea cake is relatively more complex to Brew compared to loose tea, as it requires breaking the tea cake apart, unlike loose tea which can be used directly. Below, Chayou Network introduces how to drink Pu'er sheng tea cake.

1. Prepare 7 grams of Pu'er sheng tea, a white porcelain gaiwan, and a fair Cup. Use a tea needle to break the tea cake apart, taking only the amount needed.

2. Pour boiling water into the white porcelain gaiwan, tasting cups, and the fair cup to thoroughly Rinse them, then discard the water.

3. Add the Pu'er sheng tea to the gaiwan. The water temperature should be 100 degrees Celsius, and the water should be poured in a high, circular motion.

4. The first infusion is for washing the tea and is not consumed; quickly pour out the liquid and discard it. Then, add boiling water to the gaiwan again.

5. Quickly strain the brewed tea into the fair cup and then pour it into the tasting cup for drinking.

Next, pay attention to three small tips for brewing Pu'er sheng tea cake.

1. To brew Pu'er tea cake, you need to prepare a tea knife to open the cake. Insert the side of the tea knife along the edge and use a little force to push it in, avoiding excessive fragmentation. Then, apply upward force to pry it open, allowing you to remove layers of the tea cake.

2. Before brewing, rinse and warm the tea. Due to long-term storage, some dust may accumulate on the surface, so rinsing is primarily to wash away impurities and achieve the effects of warming and awakening the tea. Rinse quickly to avoid affecting the taste of the tea.

3. Water temperature is crucial when brewing Pu'er tea. Generally, boiling water at 100 degrees Celsius is used. If the Teapot does not retain heat well, the water should be boiled before each infusion to maintain a temperature around 100 degrees Celsius. This ensures that the substances in the tea are better extracted.
