How much caffeine is in China Anhui Lu’an Guan Pian?

Each 5–6 oz cup (150–180 ml) serving contains approximately 35 mg of caffeine. For comparison, a standard 8 oz cup of brewed drip coffee contains around 95 mg. Actual content varies with dose, water temperature, and contact time.

What temperature should I use for China Anhui Lu’an Guan Pian?

Target 85°C (185°F). Below this range the cup tends toward sourness and thinness from under-extraction; above it, bitterness rises faster than sweetness.

How long should China Anhui Lu’an Guan Pian be extracted?

Extract for 2–3 min using Teapot or Cup, at a ratio of 3–4g per 150ml water, prepared at Stems / Leafstalk. Time and ratio move together: a heavier dose generally wants a shorter contact time.

Why does my China Anhui Lu’an Guan Pian taste bitter?

Bitterness almost always indicates over-extraction. Shorten the contact time, lower the water temperature slightly, or use less leaf. Change one variable at a time so you can tell which one was responsible.

Who should avoid China Anhui Lu’an Guan Pian?

Caffeine sensitivity: light caffeine; one to two cups per day. Iron absorption: very low tannin; minimal concern. Pregnancy: limit to two cups daily. This is general educational information, not medical advice — consult a qualified healthcare professional about your own circumstances.
