Gong Fu Tea:
Due to the delicate nature of Lushan Clouds & Mist, it is recommended to use top-drop brewing method. Begin by pouring hot water at 85°C into the cup (note: water that is too hot can damage the components of the tea), then add the tea leaves. The ratio of tea to water should be 1:50, meaning use about 3 grams of tea for every 150 milliliters of water. It is recommended to brew the tea three times to achieve the best flavor.

Moreover, due to the high concentration of Lushan Clouds & Mist tea, it is advisable to use a pot with a larger belly for brewing. This helps avoid overly concentrated and bitter tea. For teaware, a clay or Yixing pot is recommended. Remember not to seal the pot lid tightly during brewing, as this could adversely affect the tea's aroma and flavor.
