Drinking
It is best brewed using a teapot and strainer or stainless steel mesh tea ball. If using a tea ball allow room for tea leaf expansion by using one at least 2 inches in diameter for one 8 oz. cup. Use 2 tsp. of tea to brew one 8 oz. cup. Bring water to boil, remove from heat for 2-3 minutes. Water should be at 165-175 degrees. Brewing white teas at temperatures slightly less than boiling brings out the subtleties and sweetness. Brew for 2-3 minutes. This tea can be used for 3-4 infusions. Our teas have a natural sweetness and do not usually require sweeteners.
