Jasmine Pear Dragon White Hot-t

Methods and Directions

• This is a special tea and utmost care is required to bring out its subtle character.
• Draw fresh cold water - ideally spring water - into a kettle and bring to a boil.
• Leave to cool for a minute and pour the boiled water into a clean and dry white ceramic teapot containing a teaspoonful of tea per person.
• Take care not to use too much water as this will produce a light infusion, whilst too little could make the tea excessively strong.
• Around 200ml of water per teaspoonful of tea would be ideal.
• Stir after one minute, allow to steep for a further minute and serve in white china teacups.
• Do not add milk or sugar.
• Pour out all the liquid and if a second infusion is desired, use freshly boiled water to repeat the brew, leaving the same tea leaves to infuse for approximately half a minute longer.
