There are many methods to making tea. Right or wrong, do what works for you. You can buy a fancy set and go through the full motion of making, serving and appreciating the tea. This site has anything you could want or need, it also has specific instructions on how to make and serve various types of tea.

However, I find the tea tastes great if you put some of the leaves in a coffee cup and put hot water over it. Adjust the strength of the tea by using more or less leaves. You can drink several cups of tea from one infusion.

I will be in Taipei next week and hope to bring home some good Oolong and Green Tea.

FT is a great thing. I set up a good trip, looked up a good tailor in Hong Kong, found the best hotel in Honolulu and was looking for something to do in Taipei.
