A simple glass with handle and built-in strainer to catch the leaves as you drink. Perfect for brewing green tea 'grandpa style.’ Each glass comes with an extra free tea sample, in addition to the free samples we already pack in each order.

Grandpa style is how most people in China brew tea. It is also the simplest way to brew, just putting loose leaf tea in a large cup and refilling without any regard for steep times or water temperature. In Hangzhou its common to see people sitting outside with a glass of longjing brewed this way.

To brew 'grandpa style':

  1. throw enough leaves in to cover the bottom of the glass
  2. wet the leaves with little bit of hot water and smell the aroma
  3. fill the glass to two thirds full
  4. drink
  5. refill when the water gets low
