Temperature of water and amount of leaves: 100 C 5g/100ml.
Suggested brewing method: porcelain teapot or gaiwan of low capacity. First, you should pre-heat empty teapot/gaiwan and tea cups with boiling water. When the teapot is warmed, then you put the tea leaves in. After smelling hot and dry leaves in the pot, gently pour the boiling water to the pot. First infusion should be very short- not more than 20 second. We suggest to increase brewing time for 5-10 seconds in each next brewing.
We recommend to brew this tea also in the bowl-style- then please use around 1,5g of leaves for 100ml of water.

I’m lazy by nature so I must be sufficiently motivated by a tea to write a review. The big juicy star fruit give you a tropical sweetness with a tangy citrus note. It is balanced by some rich molasses, honey and a nectarine note. Later steeps gives you a powdered sugar note like you get from the top of a funnel cake. This black tea is unique and has much depth to offer!
