Lucky Dip Sample Pack - 100g (5*20g)
We highly recommend starting with gongfu style brewing using 7-8 grams of tea in a 100ml gaiwan.
Our own preferred style of brewing is 8-10 grams tea, 100ml gaiwan, flash steeping with boiling water to start and increasing the brewing time according to strength of taste.
If, for any reason, you are brewing broken leaves instead of whole leaf, we recommend increasing the water to tea ratio - 20 to 25ml per gram, as broken leaves release flavour much more quickly than whole leaf.
