The water should be heated to approximately 185-195°F or 85-90°C for optimal steeping. This temperature ensures a balanced extraction of flavors and aromas from the tea leaves.
Approximately 2 teaspoons (3 grams) of tea leaves are recommended for every 5 ounces (150 milliliters) of water. This ratio provides a balanced and flavorful cup of tea.
A recommended steeping time is 3-5 minutes. Adjust the time according to your preference for the desired tea concentration. For a stronger flavor, steep for longer; for a milder taste, steep for a shorter period.
Allow the tea leaves to uncurl fully during steeping. This process releases the full flavor and aroma of the tea, enhancing your drinking experience.
You can steep this tea multiple times, resulting in increasing strength and depth with each subsequent steep.
