Brewing Tips:

This tea has compact, curled leaves, so a little goes a long way. A yixing pot or gaiwan comes in handy for brewing multiple infusions. First, rinse the leaves for 15 seconds in hot water to prepare them for brewing. Brew the first infusion for 4 minutes, completely pouring off all liquid when finished. Infuse again for 30 seconds for up to four infusions.
