The teapot, filled with only hot water, is then used to pour hot water into each of the guest’s teacups. This is to ensure the cups are hot when the tea is poured in and it doesn’t cool off too quickly. The top cup is poured first so it can maintain heat for the longest duration. The tea scoop is then cleaned with a special cloth, and used to either catch tea leaves rolled onto the scoop with the tea jar, or by being shoveled out of the tea jar with the tea scoop. The tea leaves are then poured into the teapot. The hot water from the serving bowl is then carefully poured in on top of the leaves. The host places the top of the teapot back on. While waiting for the tea to brew, the host, carefully, using two hands pours the hot water from each of the guest’s cups into the basin.

The host then pours short streams of tea into each cup from the bottom cup to the top cup. The host will pour small amounts of tea into each cup in rotation to make sure the taste is even and all the tea is completely used in the first steeping.
