Preparing your cup
Mug or teapot: start with 3 g per 250 ml, 85–95°C / 185–203°F, 2–4 minutes. Gongfu: start with 4–6 g per 100–120 ml, 85–95°C / 185–203°F, 15–25 seconds for the first infusion. Pour out fully and lengthen later steeps gradually.
Keep dry tea in a cool, dry, odour-free place, protected from sunlight, heat and moisture. Close the pack after use and keep aromatic blends separate from strong-smelling foods.
Separate a small portion and give it time to open. Compare a second infusion before deciding that a restrained first cup needs considerably more leaf.
