1) Fill the kettle with fresh, purified water and heat to just below boiling (180°F). If the water boils, let it sit until cooled to correct temperature.
2) Pre-heat teapot.
3) Use 1teaspoon leaves per 14 oz. Water.
4) For the best infusion, prepare leaves by “flushing” (add a bit of hot water to leaves, swirl, & discard).
5) Steep most green teas for 1 minute (scented greens should steep for 30 seconds, and Genmaicha for 2 minutes).
*Green teas should be enjoyed in their pure form, without milk or sugar.
