About tea
Proper leaf tea rather than a flower infusion. What is in the pack is named in the title. This pack is 500 g net. At the quantities below that is about 100 pots. That works out at S$1.69 per 100 g.
Also known as chinese tea, loose leaf tea.
What people use it for
Brewed in a pot or gaiwan and re-infused several times, the way tea is drunk at home and at dim sum.
How to prepare it
About 5 g of leaf to a 200 ml pot. Green and lightly oxidised teas want water around 85C; oolong and roasted teas take it boiling. Short first infusion, longer each time after.
Keeping it
Keep Refrigerated
