If you don't preheat, then the cold pot will take down the temperature of the water 10°f or so. Which is one reason so many people have problems with picky teas. Of course, that method is perfectly alright if you're going to do a rinsing round, which will preheat the pot.<BR/><BR/>The best reason for putting the tea into a preheated pot was told to me by a sencha aficionado: "The smell makes my knees buckle."Wes Crosswhitehttps://www.blogger.com/profile/06369912221341992626noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-1482378199911616869.post-38294678170009316002008-04-28T06:18:00.000-07:002008-04-28T06:18:00.000-07:00I think that the tea leaves should be put in the t...I think that the tea leaves should be put in the teapot before than the hot water...Carlohttps://www.blogger.com/profile/12225753022148748196noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-1482378199911616869.post-41840485131929337382008-04-27T09:06:00.000-07:002008-04-27T09:06:00.000-07:00I hear the thump, thump in the background!I hear the thump, thump in the background!scarrellhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/04439018452316662299noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-1482378199911616869.post-74772238186622928502008-04-27T03:24:00.000-07:002008-04-27T03:24:00.000-07:00Now Tea Videos!Excellent!Now Tea Videos!<BR/>Excellent!oliviercohttps://www.blogger.com/profile/06514738816729332686noreply@blogger.com
