General information

Brewing method
Brew the tea with hot boiling water (90-95°C) in a porcelain gaiwan or a teapot of porous clay. The proportion is 4-5 g per 100 ml. The time of the first steeping is about 12 seconds. After that do short steeps (just for 1-2 seconds), increasing the steeping time for each subsequent step, if necessary. You can repeat this method up to approximately 12 times.
