The correct way to drink green Tea is: brew with water at 80°C~85°C and drink it fresh.

1. Teaware
When brewing Green Tea, the teaware should be clean. Typically, use transparent glass cups (pots), porcelain cups, or tea bowls that show off the green tea liquor and leaves well. Of these, a glass cup is best as it is prized for its transparency and variety of shapes.
Brewing green tea in a glass cup (or glass Teapot), especially various high-quality green teas, results in a bright liquor. You can observe the leaves floating up and down during the brewing process, gradually unfolding gracefully, which is an artistic appreciation in itself, adding a unique charm.

2. Water Quality
The quality of water used for brewing green tea should be good. Clean, high-quality mineral water is usually preferred, or tap water that has been purified. The pH level of the water should be neutral or slightly acidic; do not use alkaline water, as it will darken the tea liquor. Water should be boiled gently, as this produces a fresher tasting tea.

3. Water Temperature
The ideal water temperature for brewing green tea is around 80°C. This is because the chlorophyll in high-quality green tea can be destroyed and turn yellow at higher temperatures, and the catechins in the tea will oxidize rapidly, causing the tea liquor to quickly turn yellow. Many aromatic compounds also evaporate quickly at high temperatures, making the tea lose its fragrance.

4. Tea-to-Water Ratio
The ratio of tea to water should be appropriate, typically 1:50 to 1:60, i.e., 1 gram of tea for every 50 to 60 milliliters of water, which yields a tea liquor of moderate strength and pleasant taste.

5. Brewing Technique
The technique of pouring water is also important. Hold the kettle and pour water into the cup using the “Three Nods of the Phoenix” gesture, allowing the hot water to agitate the leaves, making the tea liquor easier to extract.

6. Etiquette
First, pour a small amount of hot water over the leaves to let them moisten. After a moment, fill the cup to within 1 to 2 centimeters of the rim. When serving guests, place the brewed tea cups or bowls on a tray and present them to your guests, gesturing with your hand to invite them to enjoy the tea.
The Best Time to Drink Green Tea
1. Morning Tea
After a night's rest, the body loses a lot of water and blood concentration increases. Drinking a light tea in the morning effectively replenishes the body's fluids, cleanses the digestive system, and helps lower blood pressure. It also treats constipation. However, avoid drinking strong tea in the morning, and make sure to have tea after breakfast, as Drinking Tea on an empty stomach can cause discomfort in the digestive tract.

2. Tea Around 3:00 PM
Drinking tea around 3:00 PM can enhance the body's immune system and prevent colds. For those with hypertension, hyperlipidemia, and hyperglycemia, drinking tea in the afternoon can achieve effects that medications cannot. Green tea can help alleviate symptoms of liver fire, and the catechins in green tea have antioxidant and anti-inflammatory properties.
3. Tea Around 8:30 PM
Around 8:30 PM is when the body's immune system is most active. Drinking tea at this time can help repair and restore the immune system. In the evening, it is best to drink dark tea, which helps break down fat, warms the stomach, and aids digestion.
