How to Steep Tea: Western Method: Steep 3 g of tea in 8 oz of water at 190°F for 3 min. until the flavor fades. Eastern Method: Use 5 g of leaves for 6 oz of water.

Fun Fact: Pu-er tea, known as "black tea" in China, originates from Yunnan Province and is named after a local market town. It undergoes post-fermentation, which darkens the leaves and alters their flavor. Like fine wine, pu-er can improve with age, remaining fresh for up to 80 years. To be labeled as "Pu'er," the tea must come from a specific area in Yunnan.
