Brewing Guide
- Warm a gaiwan or small teapot and add about 5–6g of leaf per 100ml.
- Use water at about 95°C (203°F).
- Give the leaves one fast rinse.
- Start with 10 seconds for the first infusion so the leaves can open, then 5–10 seconds, then add roughly 5 seconds per round.
- Decant fully into a fair cup each time.
Treat these as a starting point and adjust to your taste.
Storage
Zip the bag tight and keep it in the fridge to protect the fresh fragrance. Let it warm to room temperature before opening to avoid condensation.
About the Leaf
You may see some of these; they vary from bag to bag:
- Some fine pieces: normal for rolled oolong and harmless.
- Leaves open up a lot: the rolled leaves expand to whole leaves, so a small amount fills the pot.
