Brewing Chinese tea is both an art and a meditation. Whether you’re steeping green, white, oolong, or Pu-erh tea, the right technique can reveal its full beauty. The key is water temperature, leaf quantity, and steeping time.
For green teas like Dragon Well, use water around 80°C (175°F) and steep briefly for a delicate flavor. White teas prefer slightly higher temperatures (85–90°C), while Pu-erh and black teas shine at 95°C (203°F) for a richer, deeper taste. Always use fresh, filtered water to preserve the tea’s clarity.
Try experimenting with the traditional gongfu style: small teapots, short infusions, and multiple brews. This method allows the tea to unfold gradually, revealing new layers of aroma with every pour. More than just a beverage, tea brewing is a mindful ritual — a way to connect with nature, calm your thoughts, and find beauty in simplicity.
