One of the very best teas for meditation we’ve ever experienced. A deep calmness brings about an undiluted sense of serenity. Hidden in the stillness, experience sitting in ‘the clouds of bliss’.

Brewing Suggestions

We prefer to brew this tea Gong Fu style. You can use the brewing guide below as a good starting point. To experiment we recommend keeping the water temperature as constant as possible but varying steeping time to suit your tastes.

Gong Fu Cha: 3g per 90ml of water. Water temperature 99 C. First steeping 18 seconds.  Each subsequent steeping + 5 seconds.
