BREWING SUGGESTION
1 tsp/cup ~ 70ºC ~ 3 min

Place 1 teaspoon of tea per 240 ml cup into an infuser. Add filtered hot water and allow to infuse for 3 minutes. Do not pour boiling water. Strain the tea and serve. May be re-steeped twice.

Tea Maker’s note: To brew it the traditional way, ‘rinse’ the tea leaves with hot water for 5 seconds before steeping for the first time. This processed is used to wake up the leaves and get more aroma from the first infusion.
