Reeves' Tea Making Guide

• To make an optimum tea, we highly recommend the gong fu cha method. Cover the bottom of a clay teapot, which has been designated for oolong, with water and brew the tea at a temperature between 90-95° C for about 4-5 minutes. A first rinse of tea is optional for our teas, as the Department of Health in Taiwan has noted that it is safe to drink teas from Taiwan without rinsing. Subsequent brewings can be for a shorter time, approximately 2-3 minutes Each serving can be brewed 4-5 times.
• For a 300 ml mug, place about 3g of tea into an infuser and brew with hot water. Each serving can be brewed 4-5 times. Temp of brewing: 95° C / 200°F. First brewing time is 4-5 minutes with subsequent brews 2-3 minutes.
