How to Brew Hazelnut Chocolate Pu'erh Tea

Quick answer

Use water just off the boil (200–205°F / 93–96°C) and steep for 3–5 minutes. For a 1 KG bag, use 1 teaspoon per cup; for sachets, use one sachet per 8 oz cup.

Step-by-step brewing guide

1. Heat the water: Bring fresh, filtered water to a boil, then let it cool for about 30 seconds until it reaches 200–205°F (93–96°C). Boiling water directly on pu'erh can scorch the leaves and create bitterness.
2. Measure the tea: For loose leaf from the 1 KG bag, use 1 teaspoon (about 2.5 grams) per 8 oz cup. For sachets, simply use one sachet per cup. Overloading leaves or using two sachets can make the tea too strong and astringent.
3. Steep the tea: Pour the hot water over the tea and steep for 3–5 minutes. Start at 3 minutes for a milder cup, and increase to 5 minutes for a bolder flavor. Steeping longer than 5 minutes can overpower the hazelnut and cacao notes with bitterness.
4. Remove the leaves or sachet: Strain the loose leaf tea or remove the sachet. If using loose leaf, the leaves can be resteeped once for a lighter second cup. Leaving the leaves or sachet in the cup will continue to steep and make the tea bitter.
5. Enjoy and customize: Drink as is, or add a splash of milk or a sweetener like honey or maple syrup to enhance the chocolate and hazelnut flavors. Milk can mute the pu'erh earthiness, so taste it plain first.
