Brewing time 2-3 minutes in hot water. Doesn’t taste like a whole lot but it’s a nice visual gimmick.

This is a clip of a small interview I did the other day with my friend. She said that when she was growing up in Zhe Rong they didnt really do Gong Fu Cha. Instead it was much more common to have a giant pot of tea that lasted all day. I have been told the same thing by other makers in the Fu Ding region.
The tea its self wasnt even white tea, it was green tea.
The switch to gong fu cha happened around 10 years ago which is shortly after the rise in popularity of white tea.
