How to brew it

Preparation Steps:
Water and Temperature for Brewing Pu-erh Tea:

Use mineral water or purified water.

Optimal water temperature: 90°C–100°C (boiling).

Breaking the Tea and Preparing the Teaware:

Gently pry the tea cake apart using a tea knife, following its natural layers.

Adjust the amount of tea based on the number of drinkers. For 3–4 people, 8–10 grams is recommended.

Awakening the Tea (Rinsing):

Place the tea leaves in the teapot, pour in hot water, then discard it immediately.

This step not only awakens the tea but also helps remove impurities.

For "Seven-Colored Peacock" Pu-erh, one rinse is usually sufficient due to its clean tea base.

Recommended Teaware:
Gaiwan (Lidded Bowl):

Elegant and practical, allows precise control over steeping time.

Ideal for managing infusion strength.

Yixing Purple Clay Teapot:

Provides excellent heat retention and breathability.

Some believe it enhances the tea’s character.

Important: Ensure the spout allows smooth pouring when selecting one.

Easy Brew Cup (Piao Yi Cup):

Convenient and user-friendly, with good control over steeping time.

Brewing Tips:
For Young (New) Pu-erh: Avoid covering the lid to reduce astringency.

For Aged Pu-erh: Covering the lid is fine, as the tea has naturally lost its astringency over time.
