Brewing Instructions

Modern Convenient Method

Place the tea leaves into a cup, and pour a small amount of water heated to 90°C (195°F) over the leaves. Let the tea steep for 5-10 seconds, then discard the water—this step is known as rinsing the tea. Following this, brew the tea again with hot water, maintaining a tea-to-water ratio of 1g per 50ml. Allow the tea to steep for 30 seconds to 1 minute before drinking. The tea leaves may be re-steeped 5 to 6 times.

Traditional Method (using a gaiwan and serving cups, suitable for sharing)

Place 5-8g of tea leaves into the gaiwan. Pour 90°C(195°F) water along the wall of the gaiwan until it is full, being careful not to pour directly onto the center of the tea leaves. Cover with the lid and let it steep for 5-10 seconds, then strain the water. Next, pour hot water along the wall of the gaiwan again, cover it, and let it steep for about 10-20 seconds. Slightly tilt the lid to create a gap, hold the gaiwan with one hand, and use your index finger to rest on the lid while pouring the tea through the gap into each serving cup. Repeat these steps for an additional 6-7 brews. One brew can be shared among 5 serving cups.
