4. Add 4 tsp to a liter teapot (porcelain is desirable). tea leaves and plus one more, if you add boiling water during tea drinking.
5. Brew the kettle halfway at first with water boiled with a "white key". Add the kettle after 5-15 minutes. Do not cover it with pillows, wadded dolls, this makes the tea "melt" and smells like a broom.

7. Do not add boiling water to a cup of tea, so you will more fully feel the taste and aroma of the drink.
8. Do not drink tea too hot. Regular use of boiling water can cause diseases of the digestive system. The optimum temperature is 55-60 ° C.
9. Tea can be drunk 30 minutes before meals or 20-30 minutes after, so as not to disrupt the work of the digestive organs.
