Blue – 2020 Fuding White Peony King

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.

Cold Water Infusion

Use a tea-to-water ratio of 1:150. Add the leaves to room-temperature or cold water. Let steep for at least 4 hours at room temperature or in the fridge before drinking.
