Brewing Instructions
1 tsp (3 g)
8–10 oz water
195–212°F
2–4 minutes
For iced tea: Double the amount of tea leaves. Brew hot first, then pour over ice or allow to chill.
Gaiwan Preparation
10 g tea
6 oz water
212°F
Rinse the leaves briefly with hot water and discard the rinse. For the first infusion, steep for 10–20 seconds and strain completely. Re-steep the same leaves several times, adding approximately 5–10 seconds to each subsequent infusion. Enjoy how the flavor develops and changes from steep to steep.
A Note About Multiple Steeps: The sweet components in Caramel Delight will melt and release primarily during the first one or two infusions. As you continue to re-steep the leaves, the caramel-like sweetness and added flavoring may become much more subtle, allowing more of the natural earthy character of the pu’erh to come forward. This is normal and is part of the changing flavor experience of multiple infusions.
Not Suitable for Cold Brewing
Caramel Delight should be brewed with hot water to properly melt and incorporate the sweet components in the blend. If preparing it as iced tea, always brew it hot first and then chill. As the tea cools, some of the melted ingredients may solidify or separate slightly. This is completely normal and does not affect the flavor.
