Tea Set
This special bundle includes three 25g loose leaf teas for 75g total (about 15 cozy mugs), and beautiful celadon tea mug.
When it's cold outside, we all need our cozy go-tos. This kit is about holding both hands around a beautiful mug and taking in the steam from some of our favorite teas. Whether you are looking for a gift for someone just getting into tea, or searching for the perfect companion to a good book or movie night, this set delivers.
Beautifully glazed and fired in a traditional Longquen celadon kiln, the covered mug is meant to keep your tea warm between sips, and to feel good in the hands. The classic blue-green is a gorgeous contrast to brewed tea.
We paired this mug with three of the absolute most classic and famous teas we are lucky enough to bring in: fresh, rolled Tieguanyin oolong with all its creamy saffron orchid notes, true Shi Feng Dragonwell (the iconic Chinese green tea!), and Jin Jun Mei - a stunning black tea made entirely of downy buds.
HOW TO MAKE
BASIC GONGFU TEA
Brewing gongfu tea is super easy and fun! Gongfu tea brewing packs lots of leaves into a small vessel, brewing the same leaves over and over in one long session.
To brew, portion out about 5g of tea and then add your tea the brewer insert. Place the brewer insert into the glass pitcher, and then pour just-boiled water over the loose leaf tea.
After about ten seconds, remove the brewing insert from the pitcher. Pour your tea from the pitcher into the small cups, and enjoy!
Remember, you can feel free to play with brewing time and temperature. Hotter water means your tea will take less time to infuse. Cooler water can give you more time and flexibility before the infusion becomes too strong.
After you finish your first infusion - keep going! Add a few seconds each time you brew your tea leaves, and enjoy the way your tea changes over your brewing session.
