Selected brewing method

Gongfu Cha

Gongfu cha — "skilled brewing" — uses a small vessel (gaiwan or Yixing teapot, 80–150 ml) and a high leaf-to-water ratio (5–8 g per 100 ml). Each infusion is short, often just seconds, and a single session typically produces 8–12 infusions, each subtly different.

Keep brewing
