So how do we actually go about making tea in the gong fu cha style? In this episode, So Han takes us through the first five steepings of a Sheng Puer, adapting as we go so as to modify the flavor and fragrance of the tea to our preferences. We talk about some of the things we can alter to make the tea stronger or softer, like temperature of the water, steep time, how we pour from the kettle or gong dao bei into the gaiwan, and how much leaf to use.

The tea featured in this episode is Doom Roi, a 2005 vintage single-patch Sheng Pu'er from farmer and tea master Li Shu Lin on Nannuo Mountain.

NOTE - this tea will certainly steep more times than five, but for the sake of the demonstration and length of the video, five was plenty to teach today's lesson.
