Zongzi – Wild White Tea 50g

Easy Mug Brew

Use a tea-to-water ratio of 1:100. Put the leaves directly into a mug, add boiling water, and steep for 5 to 7 minutes. When about one-third of the tea remains, refill with boiling water to continue brewing.


Traditional Gongfu Style

Use one 7 g bundle (do not untie the bamboo binding). Water temperature is 100°C / 212°F. Any vessel is suitable as long as it can hold the entire bundle. Rinse once with a quick pour to awaken the aroma, then brew with boiling water for 20 seconds per infusion, increasing each subsequent infusion by 5–10 seconds. This tea does not become bitter or astringent, so longer infusions are acceptable.

Thermal Steeping

Use one bundle (do not untie the bamboo binding). Rinse once, then place it into a 1,000 ml ceramic-lined thermos. Fill with boiling water and steep for 2 hours.
