Gather your tools

A bag of your favorite Kettl Oolong
Tea kettle with boiling water
A kyusu or gaiwan (teapot)
One small tea cup
Digital kitchen scale
Tea strainer (optional)

Brewing the perfect oolong

1. Bring your water to a boil.

2. Pour 120-180 mL or 5-6 ounces of boiling water into your kyusu or gaiwan. Pour directly from your brewing vessel into your serving cup. This preheats the kyusu and your cup.

3. Dump the preheating water.

4. Weigh out 6 grams of Kettl Oolong (or roughly 2 tsp) and add it to your kyusu or gaiwan.

5. Start a timer and immediately pour a fresh 120-180ml of water off of the boil back into your Kyusu.

6. When the timer reads 60 seconds pour the brewed tea from your kyusu with a rocking motion through the strainer into your tea cup. Enjoy.
