Chinese Black Tea, and chrysanthemum flowers.
- Unwrap one mini tuocha and put into an infuser. Place infuser into a mug.
- Heat water to 195° - 212° (right around boiling).
- Pour 8 oz. of water over tea leaves.
- Steep tea for 3-10 minutes (depending on taste preference and desired darkeness).
- Remove infuser and enjoy tea.
If the shortest steep time is used, this tea can be infused 3 times!
As above, you will need to break off as many teaspoons of dry leaf into your infuser as cups you wish to drink. Next, place the infuser in your pot and fill the pot with the appropriate amount of 195°-to-boiling water and let it sit for 3 to 10 minutes, depending on how dark & strong you want your brew. If cooler water is used or the steeping time is kept to 3 minutes, the same leaves can be infused 3 times. Remove the infuser before drinking and be sure to watch how strong the brew is going!
Puerh generally has a caffeine content comparable, or even higher than black tea.
