How to Brew?

The preferred method of brewing is an Yixing teapot or a gaiwan.  After boiling the water to 212° F (100° C) rinse the gaiwan or teapot once.  By rinsing we ensure the teaware is free of any unwanted matter as well as create optimal heat conditions for brewing.  We suggest 5-7 grams of tea per 200 ml of water.   However, these parameters have more to do with personal tastes than any sort of scientific groundings.  The lengths of the infusions are also dependent upon personal preference for either a weaker or stronger infusion.  As such we suggest starting with shorter infusion times of up to one minute for the first and second brew while gradually increasing infusion times by one minute for each consecutive brew.
