Being Tea Co

Grandpa style

Large tea leaves floating freely in a tall drinking glass as more water is added.

Large-leaf green, white and easygoing tea

Leaf floats freely in a glass or mug while you drink and refill.

Starting point

Start lightly—about 2–3 g in a 300 mL vessel—and refill before the water level falls below the leaf.

What you need

  • Heat-safe glass or mug
  • Kettle
  • Open leaf

Method

  1. Add leaf.
  2. Pour suitable-temperature water.
  3. Wait for leaf to settle and liquor to become comfortable.
  4. Drink around the leaf.
  5. Top up repeatedly.

Watch for

Avoid very small broken leaf and do not drink leaf fragments that make the experience unpleasant.
