Different teas are brewed at different temperatures. But how can one determine the water temperature without a thermometer? The ancient Chinese had a solution: they observed the bubbles forming in the pot. By watching the size and quantity of the bubbles, they could estimate the temperature of the water. Each stage was given an amusing name:
shrimp eye - small, fine bubbles
crab eye - slightly bigger bubbles
fish eye - large bubbles
string of pearls - large quantities of bubbles
raging torrent - boiling water
A postcard full of tea culture.
