Brewing Guide Leaf: 1–1.5 tsp (2–3 g) per 8 oz Water: 185–195°F — start closer to 185°F for a softer cup; nearer 195°F for a richer, toastier profile Time: 2–3 min (shorter for lighter, longer for more body) Resteeps: 2–3 infusions; add 15–30 seconds each round For more body, increase leaf rather than over-steeping.
