For the preparation of good tea
A porcelain teapot and lime-free water should be used.
After enough tea has been added to the dry teapot, let the pot steep in the steam.
When adding hot water to the tea kettle, add the water at one point and pour it in such a way that the tea does not get wet.
To achieve a good infusion (do not boil the tea), wait until the tea sinks to the bottom in the steam from the boiling water.
