Brewing Guide
- Use a gaiwan or small pot, about 5–6g per 100ml.
- Heat water to about 95°C (203°F).
- Rinse once quickly and pour the rinse away.
- Steep 10 seconds for the first infusion so the leaves can open, then 5–10 seconds, adding about 5 seconds each time.
- Pour into a fair cup before serving.
These numbers are a starting point. Try shorter or longer steeps and see what you like best.
Storage
Keep it sealed and airtight, away from light, heat and strong odors. Refrigeration helps keep the fresh floral character; let the bag reach room temperature before opening so no moisture gets in.
About the Leaf
Not every bag shows these, but you may notice them:
- 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.
