How to brew tea using Gaiwan Method (蓋碗) 🍵 | White Peony Tea 💮🍃| My Way

📌 Hello everyone, this is a video on how to make white tea using the Gaiwan method/technique (蓋碗). A gaiwan ("covered cup" teapot) allows for re-infusion of tea leaves many times, so they are most commonly used for oolong, green, white, and puer teas (black teas are less likely to retain their flavor in subsequent steepings).
For white tea, you can brew 3 times, first brew for 1 minute, second brew for 5 seconds and third brew for 10 seconds [start counting from the start of the pour]. We used water at 90°C.
If you have any questions about other tea types, leave a comment below! c;

I followed the tea making and it was great! I ended up with kimchi tea!

So relaxing to watch 🤩

[@Dorito230]

Love the tea videos!

How about using V60 to brew tea? I find I can less contact time and therefore less bitterness, 4 very sloe pours with a short break in between

[@jeffersonchen9609]

We have considered using V60 Switch to brew tea, however any other standard V60 will not fully extract the tea simply because the contact time is too short (due to the larger size of tea leaves compared to coffee grinds). But if it works for you, that's great! :)
