Can I leave the tea leaves in the gaiwan?

To avoid over-steeping the tea, you should always decant the brewed tea into a serving pitcher or teacup. And you can let the tea leaves sit in the Gaiwan between steeps for up to 24 hours.

Here's our gongfu brewing guide to help you learn more about our brewing method.

If you have any other tea-related questions, please email us at  concierge@mansatea.com, and a Mansa Tea representative will assist you within 24 hours on the next business day.
