How do I prepare this tea?

For Western style brewing

Use 2g of leaf to 300ml of water (china tea cup size).
Bring the water to boil, then leave for a minute, this gives the water a chance to cool to about 90 degrees.
Then pour over the leaves. Infuse for approx 90 seconds.
Leaves used this way can be reused up to 4 times!

For Gong Fu or Chinese style brewing

Use 5g of leaf to 150ml of water (general gaiwan size).
Bring the water to the boil and then leave for a minute, this should ensure you get approximately 90 degree water.
Then pour over the leaves, wait 10 seconds and decant your tea.
Leaves use this way can be reused at least 6 times!

These are intended as a guideline only, everyone is different.
