1. Weigh

Weigh the appropriate amount of tea and add to the Kyusu.

2. Temperature

Heat the kettle to the desired temperature.
Pre-heat all the vessels (kyusu and cup) then discard the water.
Note: if you don't have a temperature-controlled kettle or thermometer, add a little cold water first before pouring over the boiling water.

We recommend 10% cold water for 90 degrees and 20% for 80 degrees.

3. Infuse

Pour pre-heated water over the leaves in a circular motion so they unfurl and release.
Steep the leaves for the recommended time.
If the leaves are tightly confined in the vessel, give a little stir to ensure optimal surface area is achieved to extract all the flavour compounds.

4. Serve

Once the desired infusion time has finished, separate the leaves from the tea liquor by straining into a serving vessel.
Pour into a cup and serve.
