A question about Jade Sword green tea and also infusion?
So I’ve bought some Jade Sword green tea from Jing Tea: http://jingtea.com/tea/green-tea/organic-jade-sword-green-tea-mao-jian, now this might just be me being paranoid but does this tea still contain of all of the natural antioxidants and benefits of green tea. I only ask this because there are so many different types of green tea I want to make sure this type will still benefit me? Also on the back of the packet it says to leave to infuse for 3 minutes. Well how can I randomly leave tea leaves in a tea pot for 3 minutes and then take them out again? That makes no sense/ So whilst I’m drinking my first cup its still infusing. Is this good or will it mean there will be more caffeine in the next cup I have. Any answers will help thank you.
Chinese tea is made in a small pot. All the tea gets used in the first drink. if there are more than one person drinking, the tea is poured evenly into the cups and each has a small amount. Then you do the same with the second pouring, using fresh Hot Water and a new infusion time, etc. Before you drink any loose leaf tea from China, pour hot (almost boiling) water on it and wash it, pouring the first lot down the sink. If you don’t you make be drinking chemicals, dust, etc. Then leave the washed leaves in the little pot and start drinking. Chinese tea stays in the pot and is used several times throughout the day. If you have a proper small pot, you’ll only need half a vacuum bag of leaves for each day’s brewing. I can’t tell you about antioxidants. They tell us they are there, but the average person has no way of knowing the truth.
