Brew Instruction:

Brewing tool: cups, bottles, tea wears, tea bags

Water temperature: 207° F

Amount of tea: 1-11/2 teaspoon

Amount of water: 6-10 oz.

Steeping time: put the hot water into the cup with the  tea, stirring the tea will make the tea flavor come out faster, stir about 20- 30 seconds for the first cup, strain it out. Later if you want more tea, put more water back in the cup, steep for another 30-50 seconds, then strain it. This amount of tea leaves will make 3-4 cups of tea.

Try to keep infusion time to 10-20 seconds. Don’t worry if the tea isn’t very stronger – it’s not supposed to be, at least at the beginning. After 2-3 brews, the leaves will wake up and start yielding a dark stronger- brown beverage. That’s when you should keep steeping time just under 20 seconds, or the tea might develop bitter notes. After another 3-4 brews, as the potency of the tea decreases, feel free to gradually increase the length of infusion to maintain the desired level of strength
