General Pu-erh Tea Steeping Tips:
1. Bring filtered, reverse osmosis, or spring water (best) to a boil.
2. Add ~6 to 8 grams of the leafy material to an earthenware, porcelain teapot, or gaiwan.
3. Rinse the tea leaves with boiling water for about ~3 seconds. Strain and discard the tea liquor.
4. Now you are ready for the first infusion. Pour hot water onto the tea leaves for ~5 seconds and strain the tea liquor into a cup. Sip and taste!
5. On the 2nd and 3rd infusions steep again for ~5 seconds. On the 4th and subsequent infusions adjust steeping times to your liking.
One should be able to easily make 10+ pots of tea using the original serving amount of tea leaves.
Enjoy!
