This is one of the traditional ways of brewing. Depending on individual gustatory preferences you can vary brewing time from 35s to 5 minutes.

You can also use Chinese traditional way of brewing - spilling, using Gaiwan and brew for 3-5 second each time.

Please note, that it is natural tea with high content of active elements, including caffeine, and minerals and some unusual feelings could appear. In that case we recommend decrease quantity of dry leaves and brewing time.

Packaging note: For teas with long, twisted and delicate leaves, such as black tea and Oriental Beauty Oolong, the vacuum packaging is intentionally not sealed too tightly. This helps protect the shape and quality of the leaves and prevents them from breaking during transportation. A slightly loose vacuum is therefore normal and does not indicate a leaking package.
