1 Q : What kind of tea sets is the best for brewing tea?
A : Currently, the generally used tea sets include porcelain, pottery (mainly Zisha), glass and plastics. In brewing Hamed Green Tea and Oolong Tea, I will choose pottery, because, in terms of tasting tea, porcelain and pottery are the best for their excellent capacity of preserving heat, a better quality in color, smell and taste, and their elegant appearances that are worth artistic appreciation. However, when it comes to Hamed Green tea, Biluochun tea and ,  Yin Zhen tea (Silver Needles), I usually prefer glass sets, since, through the glass, you can see the dimness of misty fogs, the limpidity of clear greenery and the beauty of tea buds. As for enamelware and plastic sets, despite their merits of light weights and endurance, they are only used in the case of thirst.

2 Q : Does the quality of water affect brewing tea?
A : There are many sorts of water, and their attributes are distinct. Different water will have dissimilar effects on the quality of tea because the various substances dissolved in them. Hamed Green Tea has the characteristics of being natural and pure. Therefore, an improper use of water can result in regrets of tea drinking. Tea Classic written by LuYu, says " Among the choices of water, water from mountains is the best, from rivers the second and from wells inferior. In choosing water from mountains, the best selection is from tender springs, stone ponds and that flowing out slow; never take the surging water or that formed by waterfalls.......For water from rivers, select the far-off one. As for water from wells, take the most frequently drawn one." This proved that the best water for brewing tea is the water derived from springs, and the water must stream out slowly. Moreover, the best spring water for tea should contain less calcium and magnesium compound. The water taken in rivers is usually not the ideal one, and the water from wells is even more inferior. As for the water of rainfalls, it is comparatively pure, but the quality varies according to the different time of rain. The best rainfall is the rain in autumn, plum rain the second and the ...

3 Q : What is the best water temperature and the best amount of time for brewing tea?
A : The control of the water temperature of tea brewing primarily depends on what kinds of tea you are brewing. Hamed  Green Tea, especially those brewed from slim and tender leaves or buds, such as Hamed Greentea , Yin Zhen (Silver Needles) and Hamed Green tea, Maojian (Feather Pinnacles), cannot be brewed in 100 degree Centigrade boiling water; usually 80 degree Centigrade will be appropriate. In contrast, for the brewing of various kinds of Hamed Green  Tea 100 degree Centigrade boiling water will do a better job.

4 Q :how to preserve tea
A : Hamed Green Tea adopts the latest technology of preservation to maintain the freshness and quality of the tea over a considerable period of time. However, the best condition for preserving tea is an environment of room temperature that is kept away from light and unpleasant odors. If the tea has comparatively higher moisture content, or has been damped, dry it first in a stove or a frying pan at the temperature of 80 degree Centigrade, and put the dried tea away after it cools off. If the amount of tea is large, pack the tea with white paper, 0.25-0.5 kilo per bag, and then put the bags in some dry jars or pots, and put some desiccant at the bottom and the middle of the container. Various desiccants can be chosen according to the tea category and the easy access of brewing. For Green Tea, you can use agglomerated lime that is not yet deliquescent.  For Jasmine tea, you can choose dried charcoals, or, if possible, color-changing silica gel. Moreover, the mouth of the jar or pot should be covered with layers of tissue and pressed tight to keep the moisture out. If there is not much tea, you can also pack it with paper, then seal the package with 2 layers of polythene bags, put it in the cookie box and press the lid tight. In order to keep the tea leaves from absorbing peculiar odors, tea leaves should never be placed together with substances with strong smells, such as camphor balls, soaps, perfume, tobaccos, etc., all of which are not suitable to be stored with tea. Since the inner surfaces of the newly bought tea cans are often covered with a layer of oil, before they can be used for storing tea, the cans must be wiped clean, aired dried and wiped again with useless tea leaves in order to get rid of the peculiar smell.

5 Q: Which is more cooling in summer, hot tea or cold drinks?
A : After a cup of cold drink, it feels cool immediately. However, it is only a temporary effect, because the cold drinks' mechanism of cooling is to offset the heat with low temperature, and the heat that a cup of cold drink can kill is limited. After cold drinks, the cold stimulates the periphery cold sensor, the central cold-sensitive nerves. The message is then conveyed to the temperature regulating nerve center. Since the nerve center of temperature regulating senses cold feelings, it will reflexively contract the capillary vessels of the skin. The pores will in turn be shut off and secretion of sweat be reduced, which leads to frowziness after a temporary cool-off. On the contrary, although hot tea feels hot when drinking, but the heat will be expelled with sweat in a short time, bringing a lasting cool-off. Because the temperature is high in summer, and when the surroundings' temperature is close to or higher than that of the body, the heat inside can only be scattered in the way of perspiration and evaporation. When hot tea enters the human body, the heat stimulates the periphery cold sensor, the central cold-sensitive nerves. The message is then conveyed to the temperature regulating nerve center. After series of reflexive regulations, the pores of the capillary vessels in the skin dilate rapidly, the blood stream is enhanced, the secretion of sweat gland increases, and more sweat is produced, which bring out the heat deep inside human body and thus achieves the effect of cooling. Therefore, compared with cold drinks, hot tea is more capable of cooling off.

6 Q : What is the ratio of tea and water to tea for the best tea?
A : To brew an excellent cup or pot of tea, the first thing is to control the amount of tea. There is no unanimous standard as to how much tea should be used each time, while the amount is wholly dependent on the sort of the tea, the size of tea sets and your drinking habits. If you are used to brewing tea with cups, I suggest Hamed Green Teabags, whose content is 2 grams per bag, perfectly sufficing a usual cup. You can enjoy a cup of natural and pure tea without having to balance how much tea should be used. If you prefer a pot, the quantity should be proportionate to the pot's size. Generally speaking, the proportion of tea to water should be controlled within 1:50-60, in other words, for 3 grams of dried tea, put 150 to 200 ml of boiling water.

7 Q : Is there anything wrong with brewing the Green tea having white sediments precipitate?
A : The occurrence of white sediments when brewing Green Tea is primarily a matter of water. Such phenomenon proves that what you use is hard water, which means there are excessive calcium and magnesium compound in the water. The white sediment is mainly composed of calcium oxalic. Since the comparatively high content of oxalic acid can combine with the calcium hydroniums in the water to form calcium oxalic which is difficult to dissolve, and thus brings.

8 Q: I am not familiar with tea. Can you give me some advice on the tea that fits me most?
A : Generally speaking, fine-quality tea brewed from tender leaves contains more nutrition and medical ingredients than coarse and old tea does, and green tea contains more of said substances than black tea does. Speaking for different individuals, I provide the following advice according to the virtues of various tea products of Hamed Green Tea   Those who are weak should drink , and putting milk and sugar in the tea can increase energy and supply nourishment. Hamed Green Tea , Ginseng Tea, Korean Ginseng Tea and Scented Ginseng Tea are nourishing and salubrious, and very helpful to those who are in poor health. Green Tea is beneficial to young people in adolescence. Menstruating women, and those who are in menopause can drink Hamed GreenTea , Flower Tea, especially Jasmine Tea, which can benefit liver, ease depression, sooth internal circulation and regulate menses. Those who want to go on diet can drink more Oolong tea, and those who are frequently exposed to noxious substances can choose to drink Green Tea as a labor protection.

9 Q: What is the most salubrious timing to drink tea?
A : A cup of tea in the morning can refresh your soul and mind; drinking tea during work can eliminate fatigue, enhance energy and facilitate thinking and judgment. Drinking tea when smoking can help alleviate the harm produced by tar and nicotine. And a cup of tea when watching TV can not only contribute to restoring eyesight, but also relieve the harm brought by slight radiation. Among all of the above, the best time for drinking tea varies according to different people, surroundings and working conditions. It is hard to say when is the best time for drinking tea. Drinking tea for thirst is rather personal: whenever you feel like it, you can drink it.

10 Q : Is it true that thick tea can resolve wine?
A : People always say, "Tea can resolve wine", but many of them are not sure whether it is true. In fact, drinking thick tea does resolve wine. Human body mainly depends on the alcoholic hydrolyzing enzyme to hydrolyze the alcohol into water and carbon dioxide. This process of hydrolyzing needs vitamin C as catalyst. Therefore, in banquet or after drinks, a few cups of thick Hamed Green tea or Oolong Tea not only supply vitamin C, but also accelerate the egestion of alcohol, this is mainly due to the hydragogue theine contained in tea leaves. Drunken people are usually subject to swirl, headache and disorder of body functioning, because the nerves of brain is numbed. Thick tea can stimulate the lull Centrum nerves of the brain, effectively speed up metabolism, and thus play the role of sobering up. If you drunk too much, you might as well have a cup of Hamed Greentea,  Ginseng Tea, which is brewed up of superb Chinese Ginseng and green tea containing both ginseng and green tea----salubrious, beneficial, and metabolically promoting effects --- and thus sobers drunkenness up better.

11 Q : Which is healthier, cold tea or hot tea?
A : A lot of people like hot tea. However, according to the investigation, thick tea drunk at a temperature higher than 80 degree Centigrade will cause the tan acid in tea to deposit in the scalded part of the esophagus, and the sediment will constantly agitate the epidemic cells of the esophagus wall and thus impel mutation in the cells. After mass proliferation, the mutated cells may turn into tumor tissues, and cause enters on cancer. Therefore, tea brewed with boiling water had better be taken after it cools off to below 70 degree Centigrade, in other words, it is the temperature when hands don't feel too hot when touching a pottery cup or a glass.

12 Q : Why does tea have the refreshing effect? Does it have any side effects?
A : The caffeine contained in tea can stimulate central nerves and thus produce refreshment. The extent of stimulation depends on dosage. Moreover, caffeine can also eliminate fatigue and resist the harm of alcohol, nicotinamide and morphine. After all, the side effects of caffeine are only temporary, since caffeine will not accumulate in human blood, and is usually excreted out of the body through metabolism within a few hours.

13 Q : I sometimes suffer from insomnia as a result of too much tea. Is there any solution to this problem?
A : The theine and yellow alcoholic alkyl compounds can stimulate the activity of adrenal gland, prohibit the decomposition of catechol, and also, induce the bio-synthesizing effect of catecholamine, which can expedite stimulation. If you are prone to insomnia as a result of drinking tea, please do not drink tea or thick tea at night in order to ensure a good dream.

14 Q: How is the red water of black tea formed? Is it true that the redder the water, the better the tea?
A : The degree of the density of the black tea water is determined by the red elements in tea, which is formed when catechol is oxidized into orthoquinone under the catalysis of polyphenol enzyme oxide, and then combines the intermediary products of quinone which will be deoxidized into difavanols. Diflavanols will then be oxidized into theaflavin, which will convert into those red elements. Whose factors constitute the majority of the red color, whereas theaflavin is the major factor contributing to the brightness, and the freshness and density of taste. When assessing the quality of the black tea, we should not just focus on the red color, but also its brightness. Brew a cup of Hamed Green Black Tea and you will be surprised for its brilliant red and bright color. If you desire both strong taste and fresh and brisk flavor, you may as well add sugar and milk, or lemon, to the tea to enjoy a better flavor.

15 Q: Which is better, bulk tea or packed tea?
A : People usually assume that in bulk tea, the appearance of tea can be clearly seen, and therefore it is easy to judge the quality. However, this is only a bias. In fact, bulk tea keeps deteriorating in the course of selling, because the exposure to air absorbs moisture and strange smells, to which tea itself is susceptible. And this deteriorates the tea invisibly and deprives tea of the original flavor. As for packed tea, first, it does a good job in light evasion and moisture resistance, which ensure the quality; second, the packed tea is convenient and elegant, brewing it a superior choice for gifts.
