Preparing and Drinking Chinese Tea

Add tea to the pot. Depending on the variety of tea, the amount will vary. But you won’t need to add too much, perhaps just 5-7 grams. If you’re purchasing tea to take home, be sure to ask how much you should use (it will also depend on the size of your teapot). You can use the small scoop in your tea utensils to ladle your tea from you tea container into your pot.
