BREW TIPS: 

Using boiling water.  Filtered water or spring water will be ideal. 

For a normal way of brewing, using 2g leaves for 100ml of water, brewing for about 2-3 minutes. 

Gong Fu Tea Brewing: using 8g for 100ml water, brewing for 10 seconds for the first few brews, then increasing the brewing time to your taste. 

Make sure using boiling water to heat the teapot up first to ensure water temperature remaining as hot as possible while brewing, and rinsing the leaves with boiling water for about 10 seconds to allow the tea leaves to loosen up before the 1st brewing.
