Step by step
- Warm the gaiwan and cups with boiling water and pour it away.
- Add 6 g of leaf, lid on, and give it a shake to wake the aroma.
- Rinse: cover the leaf with water and pour it off straight away.
- First steep 20 s, then add 5 s each steep.
- Pour out every drop each time. Keep going while it still tastes of something.
The steeps
7 steeps, in seconds: 20 · 25 · 30 · 35 · 40 · 45 · 50. Pour out every drop between them, and stop when the leaf tastes of little.
Log it as you brew. Steepbook opens a session with these numbers, scales the leaf to your teaware, times every steep and remembers how it tasted.
