Brewing

Brewing Temperature: 80.000000 - 85.000000
Tea Amount: 3 g per 150 ml (glass cup, "top pouring" method); 5–7 g per 100–120 ml gaiwan (gongfu).
Teaware: Glass cup — for visual enjoyment and daily tea drinking. Gàiwǎn (盖碗) or porcelain teapot — for gongfu.
Water Temperature: 80.000000
Brewing Notes: Soft, with low mineralization. Soft water emphasizes sweetness and amino acid freshness.
Water Temperature Detail: 80–85°C. Boiling water (>85°C) is categorically not recommended — it causes liquor yellowing, loss of delicate aroma, and vitamin C destruction.
