ABOUT JINGLONG TEA FACTORY
BREWING
Our “Stout leaves” can be brewed in any way you like. We advise starting with tea-water ratio about 1:100, water temperature – just of the boil, total brewing time around 4 min. The leaf is big and needs time to infuse.
We found it to be most suitable for following brewing methods:
- Teapot with sifter
- Tumbler
- French press
- Pour-over
- Clever Dripper.
As you may guess this big leaf was made for bigger brewing vessels, to brew it in a mug you will need to halve the leaf.
TROUBLESHOOTING
The ripe pu-erh wet-pile fermentation process takes up to 60 days and involves microorganisms, so the ripe pu-erh taste profile differs from the taste of other types of teas. A bit of earthy taste is a part of pu-erh taste profile.
Ripe pu-erh tea should be brewed with water just boiled (208-212°F).
