Brewing Instructions
Brewing Instructions
We recommend rinsing the tea–a quick brew that is then discarded–to allow the leaves to open up. This tea can be brewed 8-10 times in the gong fu style. Be sure to compare each steep (they will vary a lot!). Alternatively, this tea can also be brewed in a mug. We suggest using an infuser with a large opening to allow the leaves as much room as possible to open up.
Brewing Temp: 185°F | 85°C
Brewing Time: 4 minutes
