How to Brew Dancong Oolong (Chaozhou Style Gongfu Brewing)

Do you want to like Dancong, but can’t quite get it to taste right when you brew it? Well, we’re here to help. These are the basic steps for Chaozhou style gongfu brewing, which is the ideal method, in our opinion. First, you need to boil some water. We like to use as hot as possible water, or at least 95C. Once your water is boiled, you can warm up the teaware to get it up to temperature. We’ll then add some tea. A standard 1 gram of tea per 15ml of water should do the trick, although you’re more than welcome to use more or less tea, if that works better for you.
