Two small glass cups seen from above, one of dark pu-erh, one of pale white tea, throwing long streaks of red and gold light across a grey surface.

How to brew

A small vessel, short steeps, many rounds. Ten spare minutes, not a tea room.

Three steps.

  1. 01

    One whole piece per pot, rinsed once with water off the boil.

  2. 02

    First steeps 10 to 15 seconds. Add time each round.

  3. 03

    Re-steep past ten. One piece makes up to 2 L.

Tangerine Pu-erh · the black box

100 °C / 212 °F

Tangerine White · the silver box

90 °C / 194 °F

One session to scale: seconds per steep, the rinse poured away. Stop counting after ten; the piece keeps going.

Three questions

Both boxes, fourteen pieces, one kettle.
