Mansong – Ripe Pu-erh Tea Brick 30g

Traditional Gongfu Style

Using a Gaiwan or Yixing teapot, first rinse the teapot or Gaiwan with hot water to warm it up. Then, add around 5-7 grams of tea leaves, depending on the size of the vessel (Tea to Water Ratio: 1:20 ). Pour 212°F (100°C) boiled water over the tea leaves to rinse them, discarding the rinse water quickly. For the first infusion, pour hot water over the tea again, and steeping for about 5 seconds. For subsequent infusions, increase the steeping time by about 5 seconds, adjusting to taste. 



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.
