From China, Pu Erh is an infusion with a delicate taste. This Yunnan tea is characterized by long leaves whose aromas unfold in hot water. In a teapot or gaiwan, here's how to brew Pu Erh.

The gaiwan is the perfect accessory for brewing Chinese teas. If you don't have one, a porcelain teapot is also suitable. However, to avoid mixing flavors, the teapot should always be used for the same types of tea. The Pu Erh cake is often known as black or red tea, but there are also green Pu Erh tea cakes.
For quality infusions, Pu Erh should be loose with whole leaves. Put the leaves directly in the teapot or gaiwan. Cover the organic leaves with hot water to rinse them, a temperature of 90°C is perfect. After 15 seconds, discard the first water.
Then, steep the leaves for a few minutes. Pu Erh teas, especially green ones, can be infused multiple times. Once the leaves have released all their aromas, you can use them in your plants.
