Exploring the Danfe Method of Tea Brewing

The Danfe Method of tea brewing invites you to unleash the full potential of loose leaf teas. Selecting high-caliber teas from our Himalayan selection is essential, as taste begins with the quality of the leaf. This brewing style prioritizes personal preference, allowing you to test steeping durations and temperatures—ranging generally between 190°F and 210°F based on the tea type. For instance, green varieties infuse well between 2 to 3 minutes, while black teas are suited for longer steeping of up to 5 minutes. Utilizing either a teapot or a gaiwan, pour hot water directly onto your tea leaves to awaken their distinct aromas. Take time to refine your brewing approach and uncover your ideal cup of tea, liberated from uncertainties.
