Brewing

Brewing Temperature: 80.000000 - 90.000000
Tea Amount: 3 g per 150–200 ml water.
Teaware: Transparent glass tumbler — mandatory. Precisely in glass the "dance of silver needles" unfolds. Alternative — white porcelain gaiwan for aroma.
Water Temperature: 80.000000
Brewing Notes: Do not use thermos with boiling water — buds get "cooked," lose shape, aroma and ability to "dance."
Water Temperature Detail: 80–90°C. Never boiling water — otherwise buds get "scalded," lose ability for "three rises" and give bitterness.
