III. 🍵 Brewing Guide

Glass/Mug: 2-3 grams (about a small pinch) of 80-85℃ warm water, 1-2 minutes, 2-3 times.
Gaiwan (lidded bowl): 3-4 grams of 80-85℃ warm water, 30 seconds - 1 minute, gradually increasing the time, 3-4 times.

IV. ⚠️ Precautions

It is recommended to let the boiling water cool to 80-85℃ before brewing. If using freshly boiled water, pour it into a fairness cup to cool it down first, or add a small amount of cold water to the cup to mix before brewing the tea.

Storage Method
Sparrow Tongue is a non-fermented green tea, which is highly susceptible to oxidation and moisture. After opening, it is recommended to seal and refrigerate (0-5℃) to extend the shelf life to about 6 months.

Brewing Details
It is recommended to use a glass or white porcelain gaiwan for brewing. A glass makes it easier to observe the tea leaves unfurling in the water, while a white porcelain gaiwan better showcases the color of the tea soup. The amount of tea leaves used should not be too much. The buds and leaves of the Sparrow Tongue tea are delicate, and too much tea can easily make the tea too strong, masking its fresh and crisp flavor. The steeping time should also not be too long; after 3 minutes, the tea will gradually become astringent. When re-steeping, shorten the steeping time. For the second steeping, you can extend the steeping time by 10-20 seconds to avoid making the tea too weak.

Serving Suggestions: It is recommended to drink it plain, without adding sugar, milk, or other additives, to better appreciate the freshness and chestnut aroma of the Sparrow Tongue tea. Sparrow Tongue tea is considered cooling in nature, so those with weak stomachs are advised to drink it after meals, avoiding drinking it on an empty stomach.

Tea contains caffeine, so it is not advisable to drink it before bedtime to avoid affecting sleep. The brewed tea leaves can also be eaten; they are rich in dietary fiber and vitamins, but it is essential to ensure that the tea comes from a safe source and is free of pesticide residues.
