BREWING SUGGESTIONS

The large-leaf nature of this green Puerh requires hot water to fully extract its flavors. We recommend using a standard 6 oz. Gaiwan (do not pre-warm Gaiwan); fill with 3-5 grams of leaves, cover with lid, and steep in near-boiling water for 2-3 minutes. Adjust steeping time, temperature, and quantity of leaves according to your personal preference. A few trials may be needed to find your own “comfort” level. Remember to drain your tea into another vessel to avoid over-steeping.
