Steep more for more concentrate and deep taste of the tea.

Additional information

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.

After being unimpressed with teas from other vendors, I was surprised
with the amount of flavor from this one. I really enjoyed this one thoroughly!
A very sweet mineral taste that really fills all of my tea cravings.
Also a relaxed feeling afterward. Definitely tastes authentic 100%.
No doubt about this one.
