Brewing Instructions

Hot Brew:

1. Use 3–4g of tea per person for 150ml of hot water (90–95°C).
2. Pour hot water into the teapot, cover, and steep for 90–120 seconds (shorter time for a lighter taste).
3. Pour evenly into cups, making sure to extract every last drop for a well-balanced brew.

Bowcha can handle a second infusion, but the flavor will be lighter. Use the same tea leaves from the first brew. Pour slightly hotter water (around 95°C) over the leaves. Steep for 2–3 minutes to extract more sweetness and mild roasted notes.

Cold Brew:

1. Use 7–8g of bowcha leaves.
2. Add 150ml of hot water (90–95°C) for 2–3 minutes.
3. Add 150ml of ice cubes or cold water and stir until chilled.
4. Strain and enjoy.

Consume within 24–48 hours for the best flavor and freshness.
