Fertilization Method
Using organic fertilizers two times before harvest
  • Pour hot water into the gaiwan, swirling it around to warm the vessel. Pour out the water, leaving the gaiwan and lid warm.
  • Measure the appropriate amount of tea leaves based on your personal preference and the type of tea. Typically, the tea is usually brewed at a ratio of 1:20, it's about 5-8g of tea leaves for a standard-sized gaiwan.
  • Put the measured tea leaves into the preheated gaiwan.
  • Pour hot water over the tea leaves.
  • Allow the tea to steep for a short time, usually 10-20 seconds for the first infusion.
  • Hold the lid slightly ajar to create a small opening, and pour the tea into a fairness pitcher or directly into small cups, straining the leaves.
  • Take a moment to appreciate the aroma of the freshly brewed tea. The first infusion is often more about awakening the leaves than consuming the tea.
  • For subsequent infusions, repeat the process, gradually increasing the steeping time. Tea leaves can be infused multiple times, and each infusion may reveal different flavors.
  • Experiment with the steeping time to find the flavor profile you enjoy. As a general guide, increase the steeping time by a 5-10 seconds with each subsequent infusion.
  • Sip and enjoy the tea. The leaves can often be reinfused several times, revealing evolving flavors. Continue the process until the leaves lose their flavor.

You can brew tea using a gaiwan, allowing you to experience the nuanced flavors and aromas of the tea leaves. Adjustments can be made based on personal preferences and the specific type of tea you are brewing.
