How long should this tea steep?
Depending on whether you have the tea western style in a large pot prepare or in the traditional "Gong Fu style" you should note clearly different brewing times:- For example, if you brew a liter of oolong, you should drink the tea about 3-4 minutes to let go. If it steeps even longer, the tea will be correspondingly more intense. It is best to use 2-3 teaspoons of tea leaves for this amount of water.
- Do you decide for the preparation gong fu style in a gaiwan or a small clay pot (yixing) you should steep the tea for a much shorter time. As is well known, you throw away the first infusion. For the second infusion, a guide value of about 20 - 30 seconds. However, the amount of tea you add is much higher! Use about 3 teaspoons for about 200ml of tea! Due to the short brewing time, the tea does not become too strong. The aroma and the intensity of the taste are overwhelming. Can you spot the different nuances?
Please note that the tea comes in different packaging, but the inside is the same Superior Zhengwei Tie Guanyin.
