「來泡茶聊天啦！」你是不是也聽過長輩間這樣的寒暄方式呢？泡茶可以是一種與家人、朋友間的休閒娛樂，但若要認真探討，如何泡出一杯好茶也可以是一門深奧的學問及藝術。因此，今天我們就要來告訴你泡茶的4大步驟，教你泡出濃淡適宜的醇香茶湯。

泡茶前的準備步驟

家裡長輩的泡茶桌上總是放著大大小小的杯子、器具，每到泡茶的時候，就會看見長輩把茶水倒來倒去，一下沖這壺、一下倒那杯，你知道這些器具及動作的用意嗎？在介紹泡茶的步驟前，我們先來看看事前的準備工作有哪些。

 

泡茶器具要備齊

泡茶主要會用到的器具有：煮水器、250ml以下的茶壺、茶海（與茶壺容量相同）、茶杯、泡茶巾、水方（放置廢水及茶渣的容器）、茶匙、渣針（將茶渣挑出茶壺的工具）。而若想要更精準掌握泡茶的時間，還可以準備一個計時器來協助。

茶葉數量要適中

再來，則是準備適量的茶葉。由於泡茶並非是茶葉放越多，茶就會越香，而是要依據茶的種類，放入適當量的茶葉，才能讓茶葉順利地展開，釋放出完整香氣。而大多數會建議放入鋪滿壺30~40%的茶葉量，唯有球型的烏龍茶因為需要較大的舒展空間，因此建議倒入一層可鋪平壺底的茶葉量即可。

如何泡出好茶？4大泡茶步驟與流程

準備好了器具及茶葉，接下來就可以依照以下步驟，讓你泡出香氣四溢的好茶。

 

泡茶步驟一︱溫潤泡

首先，先將水煮沸，以滾水溫壺，再放入茶葉，並倒入能淹過茶葉的水量後，蓋上壺蓋等待約10秒，讓茶葉吸收到適量的水分，以利後續茶湯滋味的釋放，即可將茶湯倒掉。但並非所有茶葉都需要溫潤泡，因此根據茶葉種類的不同，也可以選擇跳過此步驟。

泡茶步驟二︱第一泡

完成上述步驟後，才算是茶葉的第一泡。一樣將水煮沸，並將水倒滿茶壺，蓋上壺蓋等待約50秒，即可將茶湯倒入茶海，再依序分裝至茶杯中品嚐。而若茶壺的壺嘴有茶湯滴出，則應使用泡茶巾將茶壺擦乾，以保持衛生。

泡茶步驟三︱第二至第五泡

而後續的第二泡、第三泡等步驟則都與第一泡相同，並可重複約四次，直至茶湯沒有滋味為止。

泡茶步驟四︱清潔

泡完茶後，則使用渣針將茶渣掏出棄置至水方，再將沸水倒入空的茶壺，並蓋上壺蓋等待約30秒。30秒後將水倒至水方，並將壺蓋打開，利用餘溫使茶壺乾燥，而茶杯、茶海、水方則可移至流理台清洗，渣針則以泡茶巾擦乾，即完成清潔工作。

泡茶技巧這樣做！泡茶時間、溫度控制好重要

而除了泡茶的步驟外，泡茶的時間、溫度也是影響茶湯香氣的重要因素，所以說，只要掌握好置茶量、水溫及時間，即可泡出一杯好茶。而下面我們列出了5款常見臺灣茶款的推薦泡茶方式方便你對照，以泡出醇香好茶。

名稱	置茶量	沖泡 溫度	是否要 溫潤泡	沖泡時間 第一道	沖泡時間 第二道	沖泡時間 第三道	第三道後， 每多一道加5秒， 可回沖6次以上	可回沖次數
凍頂 烏龍茶	壺底 鋪平	95度 以上	需要	50秒	40秒	40秒		6次

文山包種茶	30%壺	95度 以上	不需要					5次
紅茶	40%壺	90度	不需要	30秒	30秒	30秒		5次

要注意的是，除了溫潤泡與第一泡使用高溫沸水外，後續皆使用自然降溫的水，不必再將水加熱，以免茶湯變得苦澀喔！

沒有茶具如何泡茶？3種方式告訴你

然而沒有傳統的泡茶器具就無法使用茶葉泡茶嗎？不用擔心，下面遊山茶訪要來教你使用水壺、保溫瓶及玻璃瓶照樣能泡出香醇好茶的方式。

1.    水壺泡茶︱清爽不膩口

準備500ml以上的耐熱水壺、煮水器及馬克杯，並倒入壺底鋪平約7分滿（球型烏龍茶）~全滿（其他茶）的茶葉量，再倒入沸水裝滿水壺，待茶葉完全展開後即可飲用。

2.    保溫瓶泡茶︱濃醇味甘

而若使用保溫瓶泡茶，則倒入壺底鋪平約5分滿（球型烏龍茶）~全滿（其他茶）的茶葉量，並將沸水加至約保溫瓶1／3的位置，靜置約30秒後，使用常溫水加滿保溫瓶即可飲用。

3.    玻璃瓶泡茶︱冷泡甘甜

而使用玻璃瓶的話，則可嘗試冷泡茶。與使用水壺泡茶一樣，倒入壺底鋪平約7分滿（球型烏龍茶）~全滿（其他茶）的茶葉量，並使用溫冷水倒滿玻璃瓶，隨後放入冰箱冷藏8小時，即可完成甘甜不苦澀的冷泡茶。

 

而與使用茶具泡茶不同的是，以上3種方式所使用的茶葉量較少，因此無法加水回沖，但也因為步驟與清潔相對簡單，是適合上班或出門在外簡易泡茶的好方法！而若想了解更多關於茶的知識，也歡迎至遊山茶訪官網查看更多泡茶的秘訣喔！
