For a single cup, use approximately 3 grams of tea leaves. Adjust the quantity based on the size of your teapot or gaiwan. <h3>Step 3: Warming the Teapot</h3> Before adding the tea leaves, warm your teapot or gaiwan by rinsing it with hot water.

Heat the water to around 175°F (80°C). Pour the hot water over the tea leaves and let them steep for about 1-2 minutes. <h3>Step 5: The First Infusion</h3> The first infusion is all about awakening the tea leaves. Pour the hot water over the leaves, and watch them unfurl. This infusion should last around 20-30 seconds. <h3>Step 6: Subsequent Infusions</h3> Shanlinxi High Mountain Tea is known for its ability to yield multiple infusions, each with a unique flavor.
