How to brew a nice cup of Camellia Tea
Camellia Tea was made of the fresh and dried Camellia without tea leaves inside, it can be treated like herbal tea but more precious than normal herbal tea.
Here is a simple example to share with you how to brew a nice cup of Camellia Tea without bitter and keeping the Camellia beautifully after several brews.
1. to choose an apprepriate teaware for Camellia Tea is an important step, we suggest you to choose the glass pot or cup, even the mug will be better than Zhisha Pot (gongfucha).
2. here we are having the example by a glass pot/cup.
3. the temperature of hot water should be lower than 100 C. degrees, such as 90 C. degrees will be fine.
4. to warm up the pot and cup is also important before brewing tea, you can clear the left smell from the previous tea by the chance as well.
5. here we don't suggest you to cover the glass pot/cup so that you can keep the Camellia in a good condition in the hot water and the better following brews, or just cover it as a short time as possible.
6. separate the Camellia and tea liquid after 2 minutes; the tea liquid will be bitter if brewing Camellia and putting it in the hot water for a longer time.
7. by following the steps above, the brewing can be repeated for 3-4 times at least.
8. to serve the tea liquid in the glass cup, mug or porcelain.
9. ↑ after brewing 3 times without covering the pot/cup, the Camellia still looked fabulous.

Today is the birthday of Taiwan of 100 years old. It means something on politics as well as on Taiwan Tea. In the past few days, there were some tea masters mentioned how to celebrate this sepcial day with teas, perhaps brewing the tea also is 100 years old?! That idea appealed to all the tea lovers, it's not easy to find an Aged Tea with 100 years old after all, is it? Anyway tea lovers would love to taste it if any chance.
Aside from the Aged Tea, there should be one kind of tea can be a good representative for today -- Oriental Beauty Tea.
The history of producing teas on Formosa Taiwan since a long time ago and the tea played a very important role to gain the foreign exchange for this island at the time, people said, "Tea up north, sugar down south." which already stated the situation clearly.
Around 60's in the 20th century, the Oriental Beauty Tea which is also called "Pomfeng Tea" and so on, won its fame from the competitions in the world. Until now, it still has a high position in the tea. Therefore, to celebrate this unique day with tea, Oriental Beauty Day could also be a nice choice and no matter how old it is. Enjoy it!
