Our premium teas can be steeped 3-4 times.
Always use filtered or spring water for best flavor.
When brewing a teapot, place an additional tea leaves
(total [5-8g]) of tea into teapot and brew 2-3 minutes or longer.
Do you rinse your tea?
In China, passionate tea drinkers first
rinse their tea with hot water for a few
seconds before the brewing process. This
practice opens the tea leaves' natural aroma
and reveals its character. Take a moment to rinse your tea
and savor the warm aromatic tea leaves before brewing. |

Tea Brewing Tips:
All our teas are high-quality "three cup teas," meaning the tea leaves may be brewed at least three times and still retain much of their flavor. |
Four steps of drinking Chinese tea:
| 1. Smell (wen) |
The first step to enjoying a good cup of tea is the scent of the tea leaves. If the tea is high quality, the fragrance will smell “pure.” Rinsing the tea helps to release this fragrance. |
| 2. Sip (chang) |
Take in the flavor of the tea. Some may be surprised to know that bittersweet is a good flavor in a tea. Bitter is a positive quality of the tea if there is a sweetness within the bitterness. A “smoothness” to the taste is another sign of a quality tea. |
| 3. Look (kan) |
Examine your cup of tea. If the water looks fresh and clear, it is a good grade of tea. The clearer the water, the higher the quality. Clear tea is also an indication that the tea leaves are picked earlier in the harvest season. |
| 4. Drink (yin) |
Enjoy your tea!
