Boiled:
A great candidate for boiling - instead or after Gongfu brewing. Use 5-10g per 500ml. Simmer on a low flame and top up with water as needed. The longer it boils, the thicker, darker and smoother it gets. Leave at least a third of the soup in the pot and refill with hot water as many times as you like.

Our Grandma's Cure is a Shoumei white tea, meaning a one bud and two to three leaves picking standard from the Fuding Dabaihao cultivar. This tea comes from Diantou, one of the core white tea production areas in Fuding county, Fujian. We sourced it through a trusted friend based in China, with direct ties to some of the best producers in the region.
