Why do you pour the tea over the teapot?
The first and often the 2nd infusions are NOT consumed.
A few of the reasons:
The dry tea needs to be rinsed / cleaned.
The tea needs to be rejuvenated to awake the flavour potential.
Heats up the teapot.
Initial infusion is often used to clean drinking cups.
Pour over the pot to maintain heat. (I only do this with YiXing pots)
Judge the strength of the infusion.
Pu-Erh can often be dusty, 2 cleaning infusions.
To paraphrase an old Chinese saying: “It’s a poor man that can only drink the first infusion”
Thanks for the great day dear, so glad the omelets were AA yesterday!
Hi Robbie .. a good start to a nice day.. me
I confess that I've started to drink the first infusion of my Pu-erh because I just can't throw it away. I don't want to waste the tea and I can use more fluids in my system so I drink it first as a weak infusion. --Spirituality of Tea
