Brewing recommendations
For brewing Bai Hao Gongting loose leaf shu pu'er, we recommend steeping in a gaiwan or Yixing clay teapot. The water temperature should be around 95–100°C. The initial steeps should be short (5–10 seconds) to reveal the aroma and avoid excessive bitterness. Gradually, the steeping time can be increased. The tea can withstand up to 8–10 steeps, each of which reveals new facets of flavor.
