Western Style Brewing

Steps to Easy Tea Brewing:

• Heat your water to the right temperature. Choosing the right temperature is essential to get the best qualities out of your tea

Gong Fu Cha Brewing

Now, if you’re thinking of enjoying tea the Chinese way called “Gong Fu Cha” the steps are different but it’s still not as difficult as it may seem at first glance.

Step By Step Gong Fu Cha Brewing:

• Heat the water to your desired temperature
• Use a thermos to keep the water temperature consistent throughout the ceremony
• Prepare a chaban (tea table) or a bowl to decant water
• Prepare the rest of the teaware
• Measure the needed amount of tea
• Warm up the gaiwan by pouring hot water into it
• Continue by decanting the water into the chahai and cups. Decant
• Warm up the tea for about 30 sec in the gaiwan
• Rinse the tea (making sure to decant every drop of water)
• Brew the tea following label instructions for gong fu brewing
• Decant the tea and enjoy! Keep brewing until the tea starts loosing its taste (anywhere from 5-15 infusions depending on the tea!)
