How to make
a ceramic cup on a pottery wheel?
 Master Leung Ka-Dong has been working at Ying Kee Tea House for almost 40 years www.yingkeetea.com "What type of tea do you usually order when you eat dim sum?" asks Ying Kee Tea House Master Leung Ka-Dong . |

"Did you know that almost all restaurants
mix their white teas with black to to add
flavor and color?" he says.
No, I did not know that. I did not know that
it's only in the recent 50 to 60 years that
white, green and pu-erh have become Hong
Kong's most popular teas either.
With a richer economy, Hong Kong people
stirred away from simple black teas from
India and Sri Lanka and began to enjoy tea
for various health reasons or collect pu-erh
tea like wine.
Thanks to Master Leung, who has worked at
Ying Kee Tea House since the early 1970s, I
now know a little more about how to

Drinking tea is
a matter of mood. And when I talk about mood, it mainly has
to do with the condition of time. You've probably heard many
rules about tea, from water temperature to color.
But at the end of the day, drinking tea is a very personal experience. Some people like their tea boiling hot while others like theirs lukewarm. Some may like theirs stronger than others. So it's all about time. We need time to brew that perfect cup of tea. |
2. Tie Guan Yin, daffodil and Oolong are all the same at dim sum restaurants
No matter which of the three you
order, dim sum restaurants will serve you low grade
daffodil tea. All three teas come under the same
Oolong tea category, yet they are very different in
flavor. Tie Guan Yin tastes more clear and fragrant.
Oolong is stronger and more solvent. And daffodil is
the purest of them all.
