Steeping Guideline:
As
usual, I suggest Gong Fu style preparation with this tea. Rather than
sticking to a specific weight of tea leaves to water volume measure, we
recommend simply covering the bottom of your gaiwan or Yixing style
teapot with a layer of dry tea leaf-balls, use water just under a boil
and a series of short steepings. If you prefer to use a weight to volume
measure, try starting with 7 grams of leaf in a 150 ml gaiwan or
teapot.
For
Western-style steeping, start with 1-2 tsp of leaf per cup. Use water
under a boil (195 degrees F), and steep for 3-5 minutes. Adjust the
amount of leaf, steeping time, and water temperature used according to
your preference.
General
steeping guidelines for the different categories of Chinese tea and a
short downloadable "how to" video on Gong Fu style tea preparation are
available on our Chinese Tea Steeping Guide page.
