▎ Brewing Guide · Fully Unlocking Four Decades of Essence
To honor this hard-won aged tea, we recommend brewing it attentively with Gongfu tea ware:
1. Suggested Vessels: A 120ml white porcelain gaiwan or Yixing teapot best reveals the tea's evolving character.
2. Leaf-to-Water: Use the entire sample (approx. 7g). Rinse quickly once with boiling water (100°C) and discard.
3. Formal Infusion: Pour boiling water again. Steep for about 45 seconds to experience the peak of its aroma and sweetness. Gradually increase steeping time for subsequent brews to follow its progression. High-quality aged tea offers excellent durability, yielding 7+ infusions and even withstanding long steeps, its flavors rising and falling like a musical movement.
