Instructions: For gongfu-style tea tasting, fill the vessel with tea leaves up to just under half-way (usually about 8g for a regular-size Gaiwan) and pour on the hot water for a quick washing. Discard the water and gently pour on the hot water again and let steep for 5-10 seconds. Decant and serve! Increase the steeping time gradually with each additional infusion.
