You simply pour in the hot water into your tea pot with tea leaves in the tea pot of course, and right away dump out that first batch of water. When you dump out the first batch, you could right away smell the aroma of the tea leaves, and you can also present this to your guest and let them smell the beautiful aromas of the tea you are about to have. After you smelled the aroma of the tea, simply pour back more water into your tea pot and steep like normal.
