Infusion method of Hong Cha Organic Red (Black) Tea

We strongly recommend infusing Hong Chanel Organic Red (Black) Tea Traditional Chinese Method (Gong Fu Cha) with a Gaiwan with a capacity of approximately 100 ml. Following this brewing technique you can, with 5 grams of leaves, do multiple infusions and have the most complete tasting experience of your tea.

After quickly rinsing the leaves with water at a temperature of 100°C, an initial infusion of 10 seconds can be made. Then, keeping the water at the same temperature, the product can continue to be used by adding more water and increasing the previous infusion time by about 5 seconds (10 – 15 – 20…).

For a more traditional Western-style preparation, we recommend 5 grams of leaves (about 4 teaspoons) in a 150 ml cup with water at 100°C for an infusion time of 10-12 minutes.

For a better tasting experience we suggest to filter the infuse as close as possible to the proper steeping time indication. The brewing time recommendations, however, can also be slightly adjust by your personal taste in order to obtain a strong or more delicate cup of tea.

Store in a cool, dry place away from direct sunlight.
