The best way to steep a cup of pu’erh tea always starts by ensuring you clean your vessel very well, be it a teapot or a mug or a tea press. You will then select good water (a bottle of spring water is recommended) and boil it in a clean kettle to 212 degrees Fahrenheit. Gently pry a portion about the size of a teaspoon of the pu’er tea off of the brick using a pick or a knife. Be gentle during this process to ensure you are breaking off full leaves and not causing the dried tea to crumble. Pour the hot water over the tea and immediately discard the water. This first pour acts as an initial rinse for the tea so that it may agitate the dried leaves and release the essential oils that give it the amazing aroma. This helps get rid of the small tea dust particles as well. The measurement is ~6 ounces of water to one teaspoon of tea leaf chunks. Pour more water after giving it a minute to rest after rinsing and let it steep 3-5 minutes or to your preference. You will get at least 200 cups of tea out of one brick, 25 cups in each of the 8 brick sections.
