      • Brewing Instructions

        • Using a puerh knife, tip of a paring knife or with your hand, gently pry leaves from the pressed cake.
        • Rinsing the Leaves: It is common practice to rinse puerh leaves just before steeping.  Simply pour freshly boiled water over leaves, quickly swirl the leaves in the cup and strain, discarding water. Proceed with brewing.
        • Amount: 1 tsp per 8oz/250ml of water 
        • Water Temperature: 205ºF/95ºC
        • Bring fresh, cold spring water to a boil.
        • Brew 4-6 minutes
        • All puerh may enjoy multiple infusions; for each successive steep, slightly increase brewing time, being careful to drain vessel in it’s entirety before adding fresh water to the warm leaves.
