Brewing Information

• Use 1 teaspoon (3-4 g) per person.
• Pour 70-80°C water over the loose tea in a pre-warmed kyusu teapot. Leave to infuse for 30-90 seconds.
• Pour the tea just a little into each teacup and continue this round of pouring when you serve for more than 2 persons, to make sure that each teacup gets an even distribution of flavour.
• After pouring, make sure every last drop of liquid is removed from the teapot and the lid is slightly opened for the better result of re-steeping.
• Can be re-steeped 2-3 times.

Directions

• Store in a cool, dark and dry place. (Once the package is opened, refrigerator is NOT recommended.)
• If you store the unopened tea in the fridge/freezer to keep them longer, make sure to cover the tea package well enough not to absorb odours and moisture. When you use the tea, please wait until the tea gets to room temperature before opening the package.
