How to brew

Cooler water than you'd think — 185°F, not boiling. Hotter and it turns grassy and bitter.

Tea0.1 oz (3 g)
Water4 oz gaiwan · 185°F (85°C)
  1. 1Warm the gaiwan with hot water and pour it out. Add the leaf.
  2. 2Let boiled water cool for 2–3 minutes to about 185°F, then pour it in. No rinse.
  3. 3Steep [20] seconds, pour it all into the pitcher.
  4. 4Add a few seconds each round. Good for [4–5] steeps.

The umami is in the first two steeps; the sea-breeze note shows up when the water is cool enough.

Tea0.1 oz (3 g)
Water10 oz mug · 185°F (85°C)
  1. 1Let boiled water cool for 2–3 minutes, then pour it over the leaf.
  2. 2Wait [2] minutes, then drink. Leave the leaf in.
  3. 3Refill 2–3 times with water at the same temperature.

If it ever tastes bitter, the water was too hot — not the tea.

Tea0.2 oz (5 g)
Watera 1 L bottle · about ¾ full, cold
  1. 1Drop the leaf into a 1 L bottle and fill it about three-quarters with cold water.
  2. 2Refrigerate 6–8 hours, or overnight.
  3. 3Drink straight from the fridge, leaf still in. Best within 2 days.

Cold-brewed, it's all sweetness and umami with none of the grassiness — the easiest way into green tea.
