Gongfu Brewing Guide

Here’s our suggested brewing method—you can adjust the tea amount, water volume, temperature, and steeping time to suit your personal taste. For the best experience, we recommend using purified water rather than tap or mineral water. Beginners can start with a regular or simplified brewing method, and if you’re interested in exploring our traditional Gongfu brewing technique, feel free to contact our customer service to book a one-on-one online brewing session.

Master the art of traditional Chinese tea preparation with these four essential steps

  • Dosage

    6–8g

    Use 6–8 grams of Pu-erh tea for a rich, balanced infusion.

  • Time

    10–15s

    Start with 10–15 seconds; tightly compressed cakes may need slightly longer.


  • Water Temp

    95°C / 203°F

    Use hot water around 95°C to open the compressed leaves and bring out Pu-erh’s deeper aroma and body.

  • Vessel

    Gaiwan

    A gaiwan gives you good control over steeping time and works well for both raw and ripe Pu-erh.
