Our brewing tips

To brew a beautifully aromatic cup, steep the leaves for 2 to 3 minutes in hot water. You can use a teapot or a gaiwan, ideally made from glass, so you can fully appreciate the golden liquor of the Bi Luo Chun. In China, it is common to place the blend of leaves and buds directly into a glass of hot water, without any filter.

How much Pi Lo Chun Chinese tea to use?

To let the floral notes and fruity character fully unfold, use 12 to 15 grams of loose-leaf tea per litre of water.

What is the ideal brewing temperature for Pi Lo Chun Chinese tea?

Preparing your organic Chinese green tea starts with the right water temperature. Heat the water to between 75 and 80°C before brewing. Any hotter, and the delicate fruity aroma will fade, giving way to more herbaceous notes.
