Preparation
We strongly recommend infusing this tea in the traditional Chinese method (Gong Fu Cha) with a gaiwan with a capacity of about 150 ml. By following this preparation, multiple infusions can be made with a diskette that are useful to best capture all the flavor nuances of the tea.
Heat the water to a temperature of 85°C and proceed to an initial infusion of 40 seconds. Keeping the water at the same temperature, you can then continue to exploit the same leaves by adding more water and increasing the infusion time by 10 seconds each time (40 - 50 - 60...).
This tea has a longevity of 6-8 infusions.
For a more classic preparation according to the Western style we recommend 3 grams of leaves (about half a puck) in a 200 ml cup with water at 85°C for an infusion time of 3 minutes.
For a better tasting experience we suggest that you strain the infusion as soon as the infusion time is over. Our suggested infusion times, however, can also be slightly modified to your liking to achieve a more or less intense taste.
We recommend storing in a cool, dry place away from direct sunlight.
