BREWING INSTRUCTIONS 

Traditional Brewing Style

1. Either a traditional Chinese small clay tea pot or a large western style tea pot will be fine.

2. Warm the tea pot inside with hot water. Pour out the water. (A warm tea pot will wake up the tea.)

3. Measure tea for tea pot. Put tea in pot. (The average ratio of tea to water should be one gram for 30 cc water. )

4. Add a little bit of hot water to the tea, about 25%. Then pour out the water. For a second time we wake up the tea leaf. Oolong especially needs a second warming to wake up the black dragon. (Now enjoy the aroma of the warm tea in the pot.)

5. Pour hot water* into the tea pot until it is completely filled.

·        When using a clay tea pot, pour a little water on the outside of the  pot. When the water has completely evaporated (about one minute and thirty seconds), this is the time to drink the tea.

·        A second method for judging the correct timing is simply look into the pot and see if the tea leaves are open.

·        For glass or porcelain tea pots the average time for brewing is 2--3 minutes.

2. Put infuser on top of pitcher.  Add tea to infuser, or use the TeaMaster™ Portion Pack (About one heaping tablespoon).

• For fuller first steeping, especially with Oolong, wake up the tea, first, by adding 25% water. Drain, pour out the water then continue step 3.

3. Slowly pour hot water* onto tea in infuser until infuser is completely full.  Cover the infuser.

Now tea is beginning to brew automatically. It takes 2 minutes 15 seconds to 2 minutes 30 seconds to complete the process.
