Preparation

We encourage you to experiment with the amount of leaves, amount and temperature of water, and infusion times to reach your preferred strength of tea,  but here's a suggestion for this particular tea: Rinse the gaiwan with water at 80 degrees. Place 1 sachet of tea leaves inside (3 grams), shake the gaiwan and inhale to appreciate the sweet aroma. Then pour water of 80-85 degrees onto the leaves, and infuse for 30 seconds. Reinfuse 3-4 times, increasing the infusion time as desired. 

Pro Tip:

Most reinfusions require the same or higher temperatures than the first infusion because the leaves will already be moist, but the time for each reinfusion will first reduce till a certain number of reinfusions, and then it will need to be increased till you've maxed out the potential of the leaves.
