Premium Gongiu Dried Chrysanthemum Tea

This herbal tea presents a wonderful floral display of yellow chrysanthemums which spread like petals from a flowering plant when brewed in a glass teapot.

Gongiu Dried Chrysanthemum Herbal Tea is also drunk in China for its natural virtues.

BREWING INSTRUCTION:

THE WATER TEMPERATURE

• The golden rule about water temperature is never to use boiling water on the tea, whatever kind of tea you are making.
• Herbal Teas require water at 90°C and black teas require water at 85-90°C.

THE AMOUNT OF TEA

• Custom dictates that 4 grams are sufficient for one cup. But the amount is partly a matter of preference.
• In the case of Assam tea, which is naturally very robust, you might want to reduce the strength and brew 3 grams instead of 4.

THE BREWING TIME

• Herbal tea takes 3-4 minutes, Black teas are normally brewed for 2-3 minutes, green teas for 3 – 4 minutes. It is a good idea to check the brewing time before making the tea because some teas need to be infused for very specific times: for example, Jade Pearl is left to infuse for 7 – 20 minutes, whilst Oolong tea will need 5 – 7 minutes for its bouquet to develop fully.
