Something good to know before you start...

Rinse
Washing at the beginning helps increasing the performance of the tea. Just use the hot water to rinse the tea leaves to wake them up. The more delicate the tea leaves are, the quicker you rinse it.
Strain
Never ever leave the tea leaves in the water for too long. Steep the tea for the right duration of time and transfer it into a sharing pot to avoid overbrewing. This is especially important for tea that is designed to be appreciated over successive infusions. 
Drink plain
Premium Chinese tea is usually not scented and retains substantial natural flavour. Just enjoy the original taste before thinking of adding milk or sugar.
