How to Steep

This tea is very forgiving, so feel free to steep it a little longer or shorter depending on your preference. If you are unsure, start with the parameters below and adjust from there. For all methods, use freshly boiled water at 100°C.

Traditional (Gongfu) Method

Use half or a full mini cake with 100 ml of water in a small gongfu teapot or gaiwan depending on how strong you want the tea. Steep the first three infusions for 10 seconds each, followed by 15 seconds for the next three steeps. After that, gradually increase the steeping time according to taste as the tea continues to open up.

Western Method

Use half mini cake with 500 ml. Steep for 5 minutes, then strain and serve. This method yields a full, well-rounded cup with minimal effort.
