Tall glass tea brewing method, making dragon well (long jing) Tea T

http://www.grandtea.com
Tall glass brewing method is intended for un-fermented tea such as green tea, white tea, yellow tea and mao cha.
The method is simple. Basically, all you need to do is use a tall glass, put the tea leaves in to it then fill the glass with the appropriate temperature water. Through the transparent glass you can appreciate the beautiful leaves as they unfurl and release their delicate flavors. Once the leaves have sunk to the bottom, you can actually drink straight from the glass. As fine green and white teas should never become too bitter, you can keep the leaves in the glass without taking it out.

Video note:
1. Warm up the tall glass
2.Add the the leaves
3. Fill 2-3 cm of the glass with temperature water ( 85-90 Celsius degree).
4. Spinn the glass. The subtleties and nuances of each variety of tea are released by the circulation of water over the leaves.
5. Fill the glass with more temperature water. Move the tea pot upp and down to circulate the water.
6. Wait until most of the leaves have sunk to the bottom and then you can drink straight from the glass.
7 Second infusion. Don't finished whole glass before refill, leave 1/3 tea from previous infusion.
8. Repeat from step 5..

@snupers, except for the thing with the hands this is the way they seem to always do it; in Hangzhou at least. Even in a hotel bar. Some tea houses have waaay more dramatic ways of pouring the water though.

@snupers I totally agree. She needs to do it just for performance and it is too far from daily life.
