LEAF MEASUREMENT

The amount of tea leaves used plays an important part in determining the strength of your tea. Too little and you end up with a weak tea that is light and tasteless. Too much and you end up with a strong tea with harsh, numbing flavors. It takes a bit of fine-tuning to get things right and rarely does one find the perfect measurement when brewing a new tea for the first time.

Here at Puerh Cha we advise that you start light and with restraint. Using too much tea leaves is not only wasteful but the resulting strong and harsh flavors can sometimes ruin your taste buds and prevent you from fully enjoying your tea session. By starting light you can always add more tea leaves.

Please see the recommended leaf measurement for each of our teas for optimal brewing.
