BREWING INSTRUCTIONS
- Gong Fu - This tea works great in both porcelain and semi porous vessels. Since it is a tightly compressed brick, you will need a puer pick to break it apart. We recommend filling a quarter of the vessel with leaf. A quick rinse is always recommended too before brewing. Works it hard in grandpa style.
- Western - Use 1 heaping teaspoon per 8 oz of water. Add 212F water and steep for 4-6 minutes. Can be re-steeped a second and third time, adding 2-3 minutes to each steep.
