We recommend brewing Dancongs gongfu style to get the full sensory experience that develops with each infusion. Dancong oolongs exhibit a remarkable ‘patience’ (耐泡)—meaning they last for many infusions.
These are just guidelines. As we always say, it’s best to experiment with a range of temperatures and leaf-to-water ratios to understand the tea and your own taste preferences.
