Brewing

Brewing Temperature: 90.000000 - 100.000000
Tea Amount: 4–6 g per 100–120 ml (gongfu); 3–4 g per 200–250 ml (European method).
Teaware: Porcelain gàiwǎn (盖碗) — optimal for tasting. Yixing teapot — good choice for dense, mature grades. Glass teaware allows admiring the intense color of the liquor.
Water Temperature: 90.000000
Brewing Notes: Dianhong is excellent with milk — its density and richness allow it to "take the hit" without losing character. Perfect for "masala chai" and cold brew.
Water Temperature Detail: 90–100°C. Large-leaf Dianhong tolerates boiling water well; for delicate bud grades (Jin Ya, Jin Zhen) — 85–90°C.
