BREWING INSTRUCTIONS
- Gong Fu - This tea works great in porcelain or glass and in some semi porous vessels. Since it is long twisted leaf, we recommend filling a third to half of the vessel with dry leaf. Use a small amount when making in grandpa style to keep this tea tasting like you remembered it would.
- Western - Use 1 heaping teaspoon per 8 oz of water. Add 195F water and steep for 4-6 minutes. Can be re-steeped a second time, adding 2-3 minutes to the original steep time.
