Should you be Rinsing your Teas?

To wash or not to wash, that is the question.

Probably the second most frequently asked question that I get is 'Why do you throw away the first infusion?'.

So, to make my life a little easier I made this video to point people to! If you are wondering why we rinse some teas then this one is for you.

CONCLUSIONS!
We recommend always rinsing:

  • Aged tea
  • Oolong tea
  • PuErh Tea
  • Any whole leaf tea with a lot of dust or fannings

You can rinse all other teas but we recommend NOT rinsing quick extracting green teas like Gyokuro and Sencha.
