Raise gradually:

80°C (176°F) → 90°C (194°F) → 100°C (212°F)

Each step draws out new layers of flavor, from delicate umami to rich depth.

Use 150ml (5oz) of water for each infusion.

Consistency ensures every steep reveals the tea’s full character, from the first pour to the last.

Steep with care:

70s → 50s → 60s

Each step reveals a new layer of flavor, balancing freshness, depth, and lingering sweetness.

For a lighter taste, reduce brewing by 10 seconds; for a stronger flavor, extend by 10 seconds

First, pour into a Yuzamashi (cooling vessel) to harmonize flavor and aroma before serving. Always pour until the very last drop, where the richest flavor concentrates.
