Guan Yin's Mercy
Brewing Guide
Thank you for trying our tea! These brewing recommendations are for a cup, mug or small pot. For a larger pot, increase the leaf and time.
1. Leaf
Use 1 1/2 tsp (3 grams) of tea leaves
2. Water
Add boiling water (100 C / 212 F)
3. Time
Brew 1-3 minutes
This tea greatly benefits from Gong Fu style brewing. Use 5 grams (2 tsp) in a small pot (6-8oz, 200ml). Add boiling water and brew for 30 seconds. Good for 10+ brews.
When Brewing is finished, remove the leaves (if using an infuser) or pour all of the tea (if using a pot). Do not leave leaves in the cup or tea in the pot - tea may become bitter or astringent (dry).
Water Temperature:
To achieve 80 degree water (175F), heat water until tiny bubbles just begin to form on the bottome of the kettle, and wisps of steam appear.
To achieve 90 degree water (195F), heat water until bubbles on bottom of kettle and strings of tiny bubbles begin rising to the surface.
​
As always, adjust brewing elements to your personal taste. Happy Tea Time!
