Danfe Method of Tea Preparation
We believe that your tea experience should be completely personal. Individual taste buds are unique and there is no right or wrong way to brew tea. Therefore we encourage tea lovers to not necessarily bind to traditional methods but let their experience, and discovery guide them. After all, that is where the joy of drinking tea lies. You should try different amounts of tea, steeping time, and water temperature to find the perfect taste you'll fall in love with.
The Art of Brewing
Try Other Preparation Guides
Each method unlocks a different character of this tea. Choose the ritual that suits your moment.
1. Bring 6 oz filtered water to a full boil.
2. Add 1.5 teaspoons of 103° Coconut Chai and boil for 2 min.
3. Add 4 oz whole milk (or oat/almond milk) and bring to a boil.
4. Reduce heat and simmer for 1 min. Strain into your mug.
5. Sweeten to taste with honey or sugar. Enjoy the tropical, creamy, spiced warmth.
Tip: For a stronger spice note, boil the tea leaves a minute longer before adding milk.
Note: Chai teas are not ideal for cold brewing due to their spice blend and need for heat to fully extract.
Alternative Cold Chai:
1. Brew 103° Coconut Chai using the Danfe (stovetop) method first.
2. Let it cool to room temperature.
3. Pour over ice and serve as iced chai.
4. Add cold milk or a milk alternative for a creamy iced chai experience.
1. Brew 103° Coconut Chai using the stovetop Danfe method with 6 oz water + 4 oz milk, double strength.
2. Let cool for 5 minutes.
3. Pour over a tall glass packed with ice.
4. The tropical, creamy, spiced spices create an irresistible iced chai.

3. Add 4 oz milk, bring back to a boil.
4. Strain into your mug immediately.
5. Sweeten and enjoy the tropical, creamy, spiced chai in under 8 minutes.
Tip: For a richer, quick chai, use condensed milk or evaporated milk.
Note: Chai-style teas are traditionally brewed on the stovetop with milk and spices, making them less suited to the Gongfu method.
Alternative Gongfu-Style Approach:
Step 1: Use a 120 ml teapot or gaiwan. Add 5g of 103° Coconut Chai.
Step 2: Heat water to 95–100°C (203–212°F).
Step 3: Steep for 20 seconds for the first infusion.
Step 4: Continue with 3–5 infusions, adding 10–15 seconds each time.
For the full experience, we recommend the Danfe (stovetop milk) method.
Iced teas
Can you make sweet/ unsweet iced teas from loose-leaf teas?
Of course, you can! High-quality loose-leaf teas make the most refreshing iced teas—smooth, crisp, and oh-so-quenching!
While some might call it blasphemous to add sweetener/sugar to high-quality loose-leaf teas, here in Texas, where sweet iced tea is a beloved tradition, we have been using our loose-leaf to uplift the iced tea experience.
We have tried and perfected the art of turning your favorite loose-leaf tea into a delicious iced delight. It's time to try it for yourself. Here's how we do it:
Pro tip: Feel free to experiment with water amounts, temperature, steeping time, tea quantity, and sweetener quantity to find your perfect balance.
Steep suggestions for iced teas:
Amount of Water: 2 Liters Amount of Loose Tea: 10-12 grams (5-6 teaspoons) Steeping Time: 15-20 minutes Steeping Temperature: 190-200°F
Steps to Brew Iced Tea:
Step 1: Start with a 2-liter batch.
Boil water, then remove it from heat. Let it cool for 1-2 minutes until it's around 190-200°F.
Step 2: Add loose-leaf tea.
Add 10 to 12 grams of your favorite loose-leaf tea OR 5 to 6 teaspoons.
Step 3: Steep the tea.
Steep for 15-20 minutes (or longer if you prefer a stronger brew).
Step 4: Strain and cool.
Strain the tea, then let it cool down. Add ice.
(Pro tip: For best flavor, let it chill in the fridge for a few hours or overnight. Add ice when you drink.)
Step 5: Sweeten to taste.
Add your favorite sweetener, but remember that balance is key—don’t let the sweetener overpower the tea’s flavor. (Pro tip: As you sip, let the tea linger in your mouth for a couple of seconds to fully enjoy its rich flavors.)
