brewing: green tea is better with lower temperature infusion. for roasted green tea, water temperature around 80°c-85°c (176f-185f) can reduce the dryness and bitterness of tea. for steamed green tea, try lower temperature around 70°c (158f) for starting.
chunmee tea is very tightly shaped, use 0.8 tsp with 120cc(4oz) 80°c-85°c (176f-185f) water (or try lower), steam about 40 seconds for the first brew to unroll the leaves, add 10-20 seconds for the following infusions. provides at least 3 infusions. the tea leaves need to be fully expanded in the container, remember not to put too much loose tea to avoid over packed and bitterness. once you get familiar with the tea, you may explore your own brewing method.
teaware: gaiwan, glassware, clay teaware, porcelain teaware are best for green tea. gongfu teaware or yixing pots are also good choices.
