What You’ll Need:

• Jin Jun Mei tea leaves (about 1-2 teaspoons)
• Water (filtered or bottled is the best)
• Kettle
• Tea cup or teapot
• A timer or your phone (for those who can’t keep track of time 😅)

Brewing Steps:

1. Boil the Water 🔥
   Heat your water to about 90-95°C (194-203°F). If you don’t have a thermometer, just let it boil, and then let it sit for about 30 seconds.

2. Pre-Warm Your Cup/Teapot 🌡️
   Pour a little hot water into your cup or teapot, swish it around, and then dump it out. This keeps your tea warm and happy!

3. Add the Tea Leaves 🍂
   Toss in about 1-2 teaspoons of Jin Jun Mei leaves into your cup or teapot.

4. Pour the Water 💦
   Carefully pour the hot water over your tea leaves. Make sure to cover them fully so they can work their magic!

5. Steep Like a Pro ⏳
   Let it steep for about 3-5 minutes. If you like a bolder flavor, go for the longer time. Use your phone timer, because who can keep track of time without it? 😅

6. Strain and Enjoy 🎉
   Once your tea is brewed to perfection, strain out the leaves (if using a teapot) and pour it into your favorite mug. Sip slowly and savor that sweet, honeyed taste.

Pro Tip:

You can brew Jin Jun Mei up to 3 times! Just use slightly hotter water and steep a bit less each time!
