Gong Fu Brewing Guide for Fermented Teas

To determine the quantity of tea leaves to be used, divide the volume of water by 40. 

For example: the volume of teapot = 200ml; 200ml/40 =5g. 

You need to measure 5g of tea leaves for 200ml of water.

Rinse tea pot with boiling water for 10 seconds in order to warm it up. 

After 10 seconds, remove hot water from the warmed tea pot.

Pour boiling water onto the tea leaves up to more than 70% of the volume of tea pot. It is not for washing purpose, but to warm up the tea leaf so that leaf will unfurl to release its flavor and taste. Pour off this hot water within 7 to 10 seconds and discard it. You are then ready to brew the tea.

Brewing Time

1st Brew : 60 seconds : Infuse the tea again in hot water for 60 seconds.

2nd brewing onwards: Infuse the tea again for just a few seconds. You just need to run hot water through the tea.

Continue to re-infuse the tea a number of times to make a fresh drink, increasing the brewing time as required, until the flavour of the tea is lost.
