Tips:
First, place the tea in the bottom of the Enamel Lotus Gaiwan.
Pour in enough boiling water to come just under halfway up the cup and immediately drain off by holding the cup and saucer together and using the lid as a strainer to hold back the leaves.
Now uncover the leaves and inhale the aroma from the "rinsed" leaves. Next, pour fresh boiling water into the Gaiwan, not directly onto the leaves but down the inside of the cup to set the leaves swirling in the bottom, then drink or pour it into a fair cup to make it cooler.
