Brewing instructions:
For the perfect cup, use 5–6 g of tea in 500 ml of water heated to 85–95 °C. Steep for 5–6 minutes — use hotter water and a longer brew for coarser leaves with fewer buds. Stir gently before pouring to ensure a balanced flavor. Best enjoyed earlier in the day, as its invigorating character is not recommended for evening consumption.
