Suggested Usage: The taste is alluring with a fresh orchid aroma, a bold fruity flavor and a sweet, lingering finish. While Tie Guan Yin can be simply brewed in any teapot, we recommend the gongfu method using lots of leaf, multiple infusions and brief steeping times to bring out its full characteristics.
Preparation: Use between one and two teaspoons of leaves per cup of 95 degree water (203 fahrenheit) for up to one minute. Increase the steeping time for each subsequent brewing. Careful not to overbrew this tea.
