Often, when drinking Tea, each infusion may taste different, either too strong or too weak. Why is this? Most likely, it's due to an inaccurate amount of tea used. So, how much tea should you use exactly?

Brewing tea is a process of gaining experience and becoming more skilled. With more experience, you won't follow rigid rules but rather develop a more relaxed approach to Drinking Tea. After some practice, you'll find the perfect amount of tea that suits your taste. If you prefer a stronger Brew, add a bit more tea; if you like it lighter, use less.
