Hello, The paper is used when either your roast is too fresh (too much fire taste or less than 2 years aging) or when your tea has a significant amount of storage taste that you need to get rid of. Because Chaozhou style animates ALL of the flavours in a tea, the paper can be used to draw out these off odours when you pour water over the paper. That's the theory anyway. Smelling the paper after its wicked off some of the odours does give off a faint bit of storage smell. However, you will still need to rinse your tea first. Some practices in Chaozhou style don't rinse the tea. So ultimately you have to decide as a brewer what methods to employ.
Thank you for watching! I use NYC tap water but I run it through an Ultracarb ceramic filter from Doulton, the premiere British ceramic filters. Most of the high end water filter companies use British made ceramic discs. I cannot recommend these filters enough as it keeps those minerals in your water and takes out those chlorinated tastes. I try to live with tap whenever I can. You can see in the video that I also keep my water for a time in a separate vessel that allows the excess chlorine to evaporate off. Hope this helps!

Jakie to piekne i kojące. Pelne prostoty i elegancji.❤
Amazing grace, mastery and elegance in technique.
Wow, I will watch your videos for practice in the Chaozhou style of brewing. Thank you!
Thank you for the no music; I felt more like I was in the room with you rather than watching a performance.
Hey Nissan, I love your videos and your blogs, will you ever post more?
When's the next one man cmon I was loving these uploads
Why wasn't this recommended before?
Very very good
Very nice video! May I ask why you put the piece of paper between the pot and the lid of the teapot and then pour some water on it? Thank you!

@@knjitea2827 thanks so much! I’m going to try that.
very good
what do you do if you're only drinking for 2 people. do you still use 3 cups? i know 3 cups is important to the chaozhou style
You can still use 3 cup, but pour the tea from the unused cup into you or your friends empty cup.
You can just use 2 cups. Probably not the proper way, but i have seen a bunch of people do that.
your videos are sooo relaxing! if i may, what kind of water do you use? do you use some kind of filter?
Thank you for watching!
