Okay, let Ms Poh share with you the art of tea brewing. Something that the Japanese take years to learn & you're gonna master it within the next few minutes. Aren't you grateful?
Location: Tea Chapter

First of all, you will need some tools

The apparatuses that were in the bamboo container

Step 1: Boil some water
In my instance whereby I'm having osmanthus tea, the water need not boil. Heat it to about 80ºC 
The tea set

Step 2: Warm & cleanse the tea set by pouring the hot water over it
Discard all water after that

Step 3: Take out the tea leave with this bamboo scoop

Step 4: Put the tea leaves into the tea pot & pour hot water into it

Step 5: Wait for 30 seconds. Then pour the tea into the jug called the
Fair Cup.

Remember the 2 different cups you saw earlier? There's a different use for each cup.

Step 6: Pour the tea from the
Fair Cup into the taller cup called the
Fragrance Cup.

Step 7: Pick up the
Fragrance Cup with the bamboo tweezer & place it onto the saucer


Step 8: As the name suggests, smell & enjoy the aromatic scent of the tea with the
Fragrance Cup.

Step 9: After enjoying the fragrance of the tea, pour it into the
Drinking Cup.
Note: As I'm having flora tea, it's okay to drink the first brew. If you're having regular tea, pour away the first brew at Step 5 instead of pouring it into the Fair Cup, as the first brew is used to warm & moisturise the tea leaves. ENJOY!!!
