Tea is left in the kettle and is boiled again and again, day after day. There is no brewing time to watch and no tea quantity or anything to look after. Too simple and uncomplicated it seems that you wonder if this is part of the profound Chinese tea culture.

The tea is actually boiled.<\/li><li>Unlike other brewing methods, tea is left in the kettle for days. People who use this method don&#8217;t care if their tea is super-overbrewed.<\/li><li>Overnight tea is considered unhealthy as far as my tea knowledge goes. However, if that many Tibetans are drinking overnight tea, why can&#8217;t we?<\/li><li>Tea from the kettle is usually served with bowls.
