Water quality:
Water is central when preparing a tea, and yet its quality is too often neglected. A low mineral content promotes the extraction of aromas and offers a limpid, bright liquor with no deposit. Neutral in taste, it respects the profile of the tea.
Dosage:
The amount of tea is an important parameter to make your drink well. An appropriate dosage makes it possible to have a sufficient aromatic concentration in the infusion and thus obtain a tea rich in fragrance and well balanced.
Steeping time:
Steeping time is essential to the success of a tea. Mastering the steeping time allows you to have a beautiful balance between the aromatic richness and its enhancement by the tannins.
Water temperature:
A good temperature allows you to respect the most fragile aromas and to obtain the right balance of tannins. Water that is too hot can burn your leaf; the tea then becomes bitter, rough and less aromatic.
For each tea, we offer you preparation advice:
• In a teapot for a single infusion using the Western method
• With a Gaiwan or Kyusu for multiple infusions
