If you have a fragrant tea you want to show off, especially a fragrant
wulong, here’s a trick that will impress your friends. Use hot water to warm
your teapot or gaiwan, and after pouring out the water, put in the tea
leaves - but don’t pour any water in yet!

Instead, cover the teapot or gaiwan and give it a good (but gentle!) shake.
Make sure the leaves inside roll around a little, picking up a bit of the
residual hot water and steam. Then quickly open and tilt the pot or gaiwan
to your friends and invite them to sniff the leaves. The fragrance of the
tea should almost jump out at them.

    • yes, this is normally done during the Kongfu tea, so that the friends or clients can smell the aroma first, and then taste the tea. If the tea taste is the same as the aroma, then it is very high quality tea.

      Tie Guan Yin or Anxi Oolong tea have a very distinct orchid aroma, which attract many tea lovers, especially Tie Guan Yin.
