"Brewing from High” and “Serving from Low"

"Brewing from High"
"Brewing from high" is a distinctive method of pouring water during the process of brewing tea.
There are three ways of pouring water. In the first, boiling water is directly poured into the tea cup until it is seven-tenth full or the teapot is full. In the second method, one pours the water either anticlockwise or clockwise. In the third method, "the phoenix dips its head thrice,” circle up and down three times in rhythm. Ensure that the amount of water poured is just right and not a drop is wasted.
This movement is a show of respect to the guest. Usually the water is poured from a height. The force of the water scatters the tea leaves, causing the flavor of the tea to be distributed more evenly.

"Serving from Low"
When serving the tea, it is best to pour from a low height. The fairness cup or the teapot should be held slightly higher than the rim of the tea cup, but it should not touch the rim. The purpose is to avoid losing the fragrance of the tea or spilling the tea. Hold the tea towel with one hand, and pick up the fairness cup or the teapot with the other. If the spout of the fairness cup or the teapots are wet, wipe it immediately. It is impolite to let tea drip into a cup. Wipe the spout after serving each cup.
