Steeping parameters are on the sample envelope, retail box (inner pouch), bulk bag, MIYABI can, and site listing (scroll down) for each tea.These are our suggestions after rigorous testing. We cup our teas monthly to account for changes due to aging, storage and weather conditions, and other factors that affect tea. Generally, we advise steeping at higher weight for less time. Experimentation is encouraged.
