I got it as a sampler and don't have a clue how to brew it...

Re: Man Tang Xiang
I would say jump in and give it a try ... 
I have never had this one.
I might try a slightly lower temp due to the somewhat floral nature of this green. Say 160-170* F (70-76* C) for 1-2 minutes. I oftewn go 2 minutes for the 1st steep of Chinese greens and then a minute for the second.
This looks like a dense leaf, so by volume you would not need much, but if you have a scale, maybe try .75-1 gram per 30 ml water.
