*Listed below are suggested amounts and tea-ware for brewing, which can be adjusted according to individual preference.
Raw Pu-erh Tea
1. Preparation: Warm the tea cup and lid with hot water, then add about 5-10 grams of raw Pu'er tea leaves and cover with the lid.
2. Infusion: Fill the cup with boiling water (100°C) to heat the interior, allowing the high temperature to brew the tea leaves and release their aroma.
3. Pouring: After about a minute, slowly pour hot water along the cup's edge, filling it without stopping, to wash away impurities with the water flow.
4. Steeping:After approximately 30 seconds of infusion, the tea liquor becomes clear and bright. Stop pouring.
5. Serving: Pour out about one-third of the tea liquor from the cup, leaving about two-thirds. Tilt the lid upside down on the cup and enjoy the aged aroma and fruity notes of raw Pu'er tea.
Ripe Pu-erh Tea
1. Equipment: Use a purple clay teapot and add about 5-10 grams of ripe Pu'erh tea leaves.
2. First Pour: Quickly pour out the first brew, place the tea leaves in the teapot, and add about 250 ml of boiling water (100°C).
3. Sealing: Cover the teapot and rinse it with boiling water to evenly distribute the temperature inside and outside, enhancing the release of tea aroma.
4. Steeping Time: Adjust the steeping time based on personal taste preferences.
*Little Tip: Use a method of steeping with some tea left in the pot each time. Retain about one-fourth or one-fifth of the tea liquor in the teapot, do not pour out all, and then refill with boiling water until the tea flavour weakens.
*Besides purple clay teapots, ripe Pu'erh tea can also be brewed with ceramic or glass teapots.
White Tea
1. Water: Prepare pure water at around 95°C.
2. Warming: Warm the tea cup and lid with hot water, rinse tea utensils.
3. Adding Tea:*Place 5-10 grams of white tea leaves into the warm tea cup.
4. Aroma Activation: Stir to release the aroma of the tea leaves.
5. Brewing: Slowly pour water along the cup's edge, gently submerging the tea leaves.
Black Tea
1. Boiling Water: Prepare boiling water at 100°C.
2. Warming: Warm the tea cup and lid with hot water, rinse tea utensils.
3. Adding Tea: Once the tea cup is warm, add 5-10 grams of black tea leaves into the cup.
4. Aroma Activation: Gently shake the cup twice to release the tea aroma.
5. Aroma: Enjoy the fragrant aroma of the black tea by smelling the cup after opening.
6. Brewing: Pour water up to about 4/5 full, immerse the tea leaves, and let the aroma dissolve in the water.
7. Pouring: Quick pouring for the first 1-3 brews. For brews 4-6, steep for 5-10 seconds. For brews 6-10, steep for about 15 seconds. Increase brewing time with each subsequent brew to ensure consistent flavour.
