Grandpa Style Brewing

I brew shou this style quite often using 8 grams for a 16 ounce mug. If I’m still going on the same mug for 8 hours or so, I’ll have added water when it gets half full, for 4-5 times. If the taste is starting to fade on the last refill or two, a small pinch of fresh tea will keep the flavor going.

I like anxi oolong or red/gold/black tea like dian hong. I usually do this when im in a rush or being lazy, so a small pinch (1.5-2g?) in a 12oz mug. resteep until you are drinking hot water.

I have noticed that it generally only requires around 1/3 of the amount of leaves I use for gongfu style. So I would wager that for a 6-8 oz cup I probably only use like 2g of tea (a teaspoon of small or rolled leaves, or a tablespoon of larger more open leaves)?
That’s a rough guess, as I don’t measure it, just sort of toss in the amount I think seems good and add more if it needs to be stronger, pull a few leaves out if too strong and re-add them in a later refill.

Thank you!
