The first infusion:
Hold the kettle up high so that the boiling water pour into tea pot, possibly forming a circle. This helps mix tealeaves and hot water evenly

Serving:
Since Shui Xian/Shui Hsien are good for multiple servings, you should remove tea liquor completely from tea potfor eachserving so that tea leaves are not soaked in tea liquor between servings.

Shui Xian/Shui Hsien can be brewed for 3-8 times before the tea starts to lose its flavor as your like. Eachbrewing timecan be slightly longer than the previous.

Aftertaste:
Shui Xian/Shui Hsien have delightfully fresh floral taste and aroma.Usually more oxidized tea will have a strongeraftertaste. You can now smell the empty tea cup as well since the aroma stays with tea cup.
