Preparing your cup
Mug or teapot: start with 3 g per 250 ml, 90–95°C / 194–203°F, 2–3 minutes. Gongfu: start with 4–6 g per 100–120 ml, 90–100°C / 194–212°F, 5–15 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 only what you need for a session and return the cake to its wrapper. Do not treat the 200g pack weight as a brewing portion; weigh a small amount for your vessel.
