Tips on brewing:

Recommended use around 300ml spring water for brewing 3-5 grams of tea, for personal use, better choose Yixing Tea Pot, if you also would like to enjoy the form of the tea leaves while brewing, then we recommend you to apply glass cup or white porcelain gaiwan to brew this tea.

To reach ideal temperature, just let boiling water rest and cool down for around 3-4 minutes. Avoid use water has been boiled for many times, as this reduces the level of oxygen in the water and effects the taste of the tea.

Use hot water to warm the cup/ gaiwan/ tea pot first, then put in tea. Pour in water just enough to cover the tea, let the dry tea fully soak the water and slightly shake the cup/ gaiwan/ tea pot for 30 seconds, then pour in water to the full capacity of the vessel. After waiting for 35 seconds to 1 minute, ENJOY!  You can repeat brewing up to 3 times for the same tea.
