i do mean to plug one retailer, but am curious about this tea, in
particular the 15-20 infusions statement.
"This tea can be infused 10 to 15 times! Don't allow early infusions
to sit for too long or the flavor will be too strong which could the
subtlety of later infusions less enjoyable!"


what time infusions would you use for 15-20 infusions ?
5 infusions @ 1 min each
5@ 2 min
5@ 3 min
to total 15 infusions ?
that is 30 minutes of steeping, total
or is it like 15 sec, 20 sec, 25 sec increasing each infusion by 5
sec ?


thx

Flash infusions at first (pouring off the liquor almost instantly.)
Then, guided by the tendency of this tea to become astringent if
pushed too hard, gradually longer infusions. No formula - just do it
by taste.
