How to make it

Steeping guide

Green tea is easy to get wrong in exactly one way: water that is too hot. Everything after that is forgiving.

  1. Heat the water to 212°F

    If your kettle has no dial, boil it and let it stand for a minute or two before pouring.

  2. Measure 3 grams per cup

    About one heaping teaspoon for an 8 oz cup. Loose leaf takes up more room than it weighs.

  3. Steep 3 to 5 minutes

    Taste it early. Lift the leaves out when you like it, otherwise it keeps brewing in the cup.

  4. Steep the same leaves again

    Most of our leaf gives two or three good cups. Add thirty seconds each time.
