How to Brew Aged Ripe Perh Tea Cake
Mug Brewing
For best results, we recommend gongfu-style brewing with proper tea–water separation. Without a separation tool, fine leaf particles and tea sediment may enter the cup, affecting the clarity of the liquor and the overall drinking experience.
Gongfu Brewing
Tea-to-Water: 7 g / 120 ml (4 fl oz)
Water Temp: 100°C (212°F)
Steep Time: 1st steep: 10s · then 5–8s ↑ each infusion
Rinse with boiling water before brewing. Longer steeping brings out a deeper aged character and a fuller, more rounded body in the liquor.
