Brewing Guide:
Hot brew: Recommended use around 300ml spring water for brewing 3-5 grams of tea. We recommend you to apply glass cup or white porcelain gaiwan to brew this tea. To reach ideal temperature, just let boiling water rest and cool down for around 3-4 minutes. You can repeat brewing up to 3 times for the same tea.
Cold brew: Measure 1 table spoons of tea leaves for 500ml of water. Pour the water into a glass jar or bottle and leave it for more than 1 hour. Gently sway the container in order to get an even concentration. Usually the taste of tea gets thicker when it is brewed for more than a few hours. In this case, pour in additional water.
