How to brew

• Use freshly drawn cold water

• Boil water & allow to cool for 4 to 5 minutes to about 80℃

• Use 3g tea leaves in a 350ml cup

• Steep for 1 to 2 minutes (or to your taste)

• Infusions: at least 3 times – don't remove the leaves from the mug, as once the water level is low, simply add more water and keep going until the flavour of the tea is gone
