Brewing Gong Fu Black Tea
White porcelain teaware is best suited for brewing Gong Fu black tea, such as white porcelain gaiwan, white porcelain teapot, white porcelain cups, etc.
First rinse all utensils with hot water, then add about 3-5 grams of black tea, and pour 90°C~95°C hot water into the gaiwan to 2/3 full, then quickly pour it out - commonly known as "tea rinsing."
When pouring with the teapot, the steeping times from the first to tenth infusion should be approximately: 15 seconds, 25 seconds, 35 seconds, 45 seconds, 1 minute, 1 minute 10 seconds, 1 minute 20 seconds, 1 minute 30 seconds, 2 minutes, 2 minutes 30 seconds. The steeping time can be adjusted according to personal preference.
After brewing, it is recommended to pour the tea into white porcelain cups for appreciation. If a golden ring remains on the cup wall for a long time without dissipating, such black tea is considered premium and precious.
