That's a bunch of questions.</p> <p>Ok, the method I would suggest to start is using a nice thick water glass. Almost everyone has one and it's cheap. Start simple and easy. If you have good tea, it will be forgiving and the brewing as the will stop before the tea over brews. You can also do this in a cup. Making tea is not that difficult. You can learn how to get the best results later. Here is some more info. <a href="http://sevencups.com/culture/tea-culture-guide/how-to-steep-tea/" rel="nofollow">http://sevencups.com/culture/tea-culture-guide/how-to-steep-tea/</a></p> <p>There are cupping standards for black tea cupping. 5 minutes with boiling water. I'd say for most people, forget about this. Usually, the tasters are evaluating tea for blending. This whole process have less relevance for Chinese tea that is unblended.<br /> Austin </p> http://www.sevencups.com/forum/topic/5#post-39 Wed, 28 Feb 2007 18:12:13 +0000 lucas 39@http://www.sevencups.com/forum/ <p>Allow me to refer you to <a href="http://www.metafilter.com/comments.mefi/52447">this post</a> on a different forum, which has several useful links. </p> http://www.sevencups.com/forum/topic/5#post-24 Wed, 28 Feb 2007 04:44:24 +0000 andrew 24@http://www.sevencups.com/forum/ <p>For a novice tea enthusiast, what method of brewing do you suggest? What are the general guidelines in terms of water temperature, leaf quantity and steeping time? Is there a “cupping standard” you apply to these factors when evaluating tea? </p>
