(2) The time for making tea should be well controlled: 1-2 minutes after soaking. The soaking time should be appropriate, too short, and the color, fragrance and taste will not come out. Too long, it will produce bitterness. After the tea is soaked, drink it within 30-60 minutes, otherwise the nutrients in the tea will be oxidized.

(3) Pay attention to the drinking method of Oolong tea: Oolong tea is best to drink hot tea without sugar. And don't drink it immediately after meals. It is more appropriate to drink it every 1 hour. Drinking tea should also adapt to personal physique. If you feel uncomfortable after drinking tea, such as stomachache or insomnia, you'd better stop.
