Brewing Instructions
*Recommended water: Try to use natural mineral water.
1. Gongfu Style (Gaiwan / Zisha Teapot)
- Tea: 5g
- Water: 150ml (100℃ / 212°F)
- Rinse Brew: Quickly pour out the first infusion (discard).
- Steep Time: Steep for 1 minute (for the second infusion), then increase each subsequent steep by 15 seconds.
2. Mug Brew
- Tea: 3g
- Water: 200ml (100℃ / 212°F)
- Steep Time: We recommend 3 minutes. Longer steep times will result in more noticeable bitterness and huigan (sweet aftertaste).
*Tips: If you want to shorten the brewing time or pursue a stronger taste, you can increase the ratio of tea leaves to water. You can also adjust the water temperature, which can enhance the aroma.
