Rice vinegar puer Larry and Viola

For all puer tea:
Therapeutic dosage is 30oz+ daily.
2-3 tsp tea leaves make 5-10 6 oz cups of tea, depending on how strong you like your tea.
Once water reaches optimal temperature, put tea into brewing vessel, pour water in, let steep for an instant, drain and repeat one more time. This cleans the leaves and opens up the leaves for brewing.
Plants thrive on the rinse water and used tea leaves; save them for your garden.
