Steeping Guidelines

Easy Mug Brew

Use a tea-to-water ratio of 1:100. Put the leaves directly into a mug, add hot water at 90°C (194°F), and steep for 5–7 minutes. When about one-third of the tea remains, refill with hot water to continue brewing.

Traditional Gongfu Style

Pre-warm the gaiwan or Yixing teapot. Use a tea-to-water ratio of 1:30. Brew with water at 95°C (203°F). For the first two infusions, steep for about 15 seconds each. Gradually increase the steeping time with each additional infusion. Pour the tea liquor completely out after each brew.

Thermal Steeping

Use a tea-to-water ratio of 1:200. Pour boiling water into a ceramic-lined insulated flask or teapot. Close the lid and let it steep for 1 to 2 hours before drinking. When about one-third of the tea remains, refill with boiling water to continue brewing and enjoying.

Uplifting and Satisfying Tea

First of all, the material is beautiful, good balance of buds to leaf. The dry leaf smell is reminiscent of apple blossoms. The liquid in first infusion is a pale golden yellow and has a bouyancy in the mouth. The second infusion brews more amber gold. A pleasant taste, pear with a light woodiness. A thickness developed as the tea liquid cooled. I wanted to follow the suggested brewing instructions as closely as possible, and was doubtful that 5 seconds would be long enough for the 3rd and 4th brews. I was proven wrong. The flavor was still very satisfying with a pleasantly smooth mouthfeel. The overall uplifting impression this tea gives me is walking through a slightly breezy apple or pear orchard in bloom. Excellent tea!
