How Much Tea for Gong Fu Brewing?

Don gives a handy guide for how much tea to use when Gongfu brewing. This is the best way to get the fullest flavour tea. It might seem like a lot of leaf but this is for true tea tasting with many infusions so it is actually quite economical.

Here is the basic guide for everyone:
GREEN & YELLOW - 3-3.5g per 100ml
WHITE - 3.5-4g per 100ml
BLACK - 4-4.5g per 100ml
OOLONG - 4.5-5g per 100ml
PUERH - 5g per 100ml
BALL OOLONG - 6-6.5g per 100ml

These are starting points for you to experiment and find your personal preferences.

Please note: after a little more testing we found that ball rolled Oolongs are generally more suited to about 6-6.5g per 100ml.
