 In addition, there are several types of dry green tea. The following are divided into different types according to the shape of the tea:

1. Curly type 

Bi Luo Chun green tea is a typical curly tea. Because the dry tea leaves are tightly wrapped together, the first steeping needs more time than other green teas to allow the tea leaves to stretch. The first steeping is recommended to be 15 seconds; the second steeping is 15-20 seconds; the third steeping is 20-25 seconds the fourth steeping is 25 seconds.
