Tea is not just a drink — it’s a philosophy, a ritual, and a way to slow down in a fast-paced world.
In traditional Chinese culture, every step of brewing tea carries meaning — from the choice of leaves to the water temperature and the vessel used. At CN Tea Life, we believe that understanding this art transforms an ordinary cup into an extraordinary experience.
1. Choosing the Right Tea
Start with quality leaves. Each tea has its own personality:
Green Tea requires freshness and quick brewing to preserve its light aroma.
Oolong Tea offers depth and complexity, best revealed with multiple infusions.
Pu’er Tea deepens with age and benefits from slightly longer steeping times.
White Tea shines when brewed gently, letting its subtle sweetness emerge.
A good rule of thumb: use one teaspoon per 150 ml of water, adjusting to taste.
2. Water Temperature and Quality
Water is the soul of tea. Use filtered or spring water to avoid unwanted flavors.
Each tea type needs its own temperature:
Green tea: 75–80°C
Oolong tea: 85–90°C
Black tea: 90–95°C
Pu’er tea: 95–100°C
Boiling water can destroy delicate flavors — let it cool slightly before pouring.
3. The Importance of Teaware
The right teaware enhances aroma and flavor.
Porcelain teapots preserve the pure taste of green or white tea.
Yixing clay teapots are ideal for Pu’er and Oolong, as they absorb tea oils and enrich future brews.
Glass teapots showcase the beauty of blooming flower teas.

4. Brewing Mindfully
Brewing tea is a form of meditation. Pour water slowly, watch the leaves unfold, and breathe in the rising aroma.
In that moment, tea becomes not just a beverage — but a connection between nature and the soul.
At CN Tea Life, we invite you to discover the serenity within every cup.
Because when brewed with care, tea doesn’t just warm your body — it awakens your spirit.
