How to Brew White Tea
White tea is usually best brewed with care. Because it is delicate, many tea drinkers use slightly cooler water and avoid overly long steeping times.
It can be prepared in a gaiwan, small teapot, or simple cup. Gongfu-style brewing allows white tea to unfold gently across repeated infusions.
Start light, taste the tea, and adjust time or water temperature depending on how soft or full you want the infusion to feel.
