loose tea instructions

How do you make loose tea Teavana?
I went to the website for instructions, but only lists the times, amts, so what put at the bottom of a kettle and boil or need special equipment?
Teamaker is needed. Basically it is a plastic container with a filter at the bottom. You put the amt of tea in it, fill it with water and leave it for the recommended time. Next, place the pot on your cup of tea and pull a trigger free tea in your cup! You could make a regular pot, but then you would have a lot of leaves floating in your cup. I definitely recommend one received – not as expensive and the tea is delicious. Teavana sells them, and I'm sure I could get elsewhere teamaker also if you wanted.

Chinese Tea Brewing Instructions
There are four main methods to brew tea, two classics and two traditional. Since I am referring only to Chinese teas in bulk, the principles behind all these methods require some additional explanations for crossing the bridge from tea bags to the fine loose teas. Remember, tea is still a question of letting the leaves sit in water, then pass, so do not be discouraged by all the methods written below for a cup of Chinese tea – is still a cup of tea!
The first principle of tea dipped to remember is that some leaves / pieces / Bits / Rolls tea that you start with may be used to produce dozens of rounds of tea. How many cycles depends on the type of tea, and often quality too. Each time you brew a round of tea, it is called an "infusion". Once the liquid is removed or "decanted" may be used again with more hot water and "fed back", creating another injection. All these methods tea major exist as a means to infuse the tea, decanting and then pour into cups. The idea is to preserve the leaves while you drink tea to enable them to withstand further infusions and continue to allow proper flavor. For example, if you decided to drink tea alone and make a whole pot for yourself, without settling the pot of tea, the leaves are rented all their flavor in the first infusion while you drink your first cup! This does not mean that settling is 100% necessary as long as you have enough tea drinkers to empty a pot.
How href = "http://www.yishanteashop.com/" title = "Oolong tea"> Oolong Tea is produced
Manual method of production supported by tradition and crafts.
The production of delicious oolong tea requires long tradition and know-how. The tea leaves are picked the morning of a clear day. They should be taken in units consisting of one bud and three leaves and exposed to sunlight. This is the first step. The second step is to dry them indoors to promote fermentation. The most crucial in the production of oolong tea is when you stop fermentation. That oolong tea is fermented in a certain extent, it is called semi-fermented tea. Experience is needed to identify the best time to stop the fermentation, which is when the leaves are 30% red and 70% green. After that, they are rubbed repeatedly to generate a good flavor, aroma and texture. Then they are dried using charcoal. At the last stage, a tea master grades the quality according to the flavor and characteristics each batch. China Fujian Jin Chaye Chukou gongsi (Import and Export Corporation and Fujian tea Tea Association), exports of oolong tea in Japan.
