Steep tea at the right temperature
-
Match water to leaf.
Black takes boiling, green wants 80°C, white 70°C. One kettle, different waits.
-
Measure the leaf.
A teaspoon per cup for most, two for large-leaf whites.
-
Time it, do not guess it.
Black three to four minutes, green two, herbal five plus. Set an actual timer.
-
Take the leaves out.
Steeping until the cup is empty is why the last half is bitter.
-
Re-steep the good stuff.
Quality loose leaf gives two or three infusions. The second is often the best.

#1 becomes the Core. This atoma is young: submit a better distillation and take the seat.
No gear needed. Your pot, a timer and ice are enough. That is the point.
