How To Make Chinese Tea

In this video, I am going to show the equipment you need to make Chinese tea at home or in the office. The simplest way of performing a tea ritual at home or in your office is having a tea pot. It can be a Chinese Gaiwan like this or a purple clay teapot like this.

Also, a pitcher and some small cups, a thermos of hot water, some tea towels to mop up any spillages - that is all you need. Now, you might say it is difficult to find tiny little cups like this or pitchers like this but you can be a little bit more inventive.

You could, for example, use an egg cup as a Chinese teacup and a milk jug as the pitcher. So, all this will work equally well. Alternatively, you could use a cup with an infuser. This will allow you to infuse tea to the precise timing of taking the tea leaves out. This is how you can make Chinese tea at home or in the office. .
