Traditional Preparation

Gaiwan Brewing Guidelines:
Water Temperature: 195°F
Leaf to Water Ratio: Fill 60% of a porcelain gaiwan with tea
Steep Times: 1st infusion 1 minute, 2nd infusion 15 seconds, 3rd infusion 30 seconds, subsequent infusions 1 minute

Standard Brewing Guidelines:
Water Temperature: 195°F
Leaf to Water Ratio: 1 tablespoon per 8 ounces
Steep Times: 3 minutes (1st infusion), 4 minutes (2nd infusion), 5 minutes (3rd infusion)

We encourage you to experiment with the quantity of tea leaves and the length of the steep time to find your desired brew strength. Varying the water temperature isn't recommended, as water that is too hot will over-extract the bitter components of tea, while water that is too cool might not fully draw out the aromas and flavors of tea.
