Tea is a subjective experience, an ever-evolving dialogue.

Here are my suggestions as you approach a new tea.

Adjust the amount of leaves and brewing time according to your preference. Experiment and enjoy!⚖️⏳ Brewing Tips:

工夫茶 Gongfu cha: 5g / 100 ml, infuse for 10 - 30 seconds. Repeat until the leaves are brewed out. 

馬克杯 Mug brewing: 5g / 300 ml, infuse for 3 - 5 minutes. Repeat.

冷泡茶 Cold brewing: 5g - 8g / 750 ml room temperature water, leave in the fridge overnight.

 

🟤 🟫 For Pressed Teas:

工夫茶 Gongfu cha: 6g / 1 mini tea cake per 100 ml, 20 seconds at first. Once the leaves have loosened up, 5-10 seconds for subsequent infusions until the leaves are brewed out.

馬克杯 Mug brewing: 6g / 1 mini tea cake per 300 ml, infuse for 2 - 5 minutes. Adjust time base on preference. Repeat 3x.
