Silver Needle and White Peony chinese tea :
- Warm up the tea vessel with freshly boiled water.
- Quantity of tea leaves : about 1/2 tea spoon of the tea leaves per cup or 1 tea spoon per small tea pot. The strength of the tea could be adjusted to personal preference by adjusting the amount of the tea leaves put in
- Add freshly boiled water, allow to brew for 1-2 minutes before serving.
- Don't put a lid on the teapot or cup (to reduce the chance of stewing the tea).
- Repeat infusions: The tea leaves can be used for repeat infusions for up to 3-4 times by just adding hot water, slightly increase brewing time with each extra infusion.
Hint:
- Most of premium Chinese teas are hand handled. We always recommend rinsing the tea leaves for up to 10 seconds before brewing.
- Recommended tea vessel: GLASS. Made of tender and young tea leaves, white teas present a dynamic and elegant 'under water forest' when hot water is added. Do not waste it as part of your white tea enjoyment. Alternatively, a Zi Sha teapot is always good for premium Chinese teas.
- Do not soak tea leaves. Use a small tea vessel wherever it is possible. Fresh made and freshly served tea tastes the best.
White teas' storage:
- store in a cool, dry place that is absent from foreign odour.
