This is a very good tea! I prefer mine brewed a little hotter and a little longer than recommended (180F, 7 min). It takes a long time before the leaves saturate and fall to the bottom -- I use a French Press for this tea ... leaving an ounce or two of water on the steeped leaves. A good green tea should never become bitter, and this one never does. I've tried brewing it in a tall glass, and in a tall glass with a nylon tea infuser screen wedged in after the tea leaves are added -- my best result has been with the French Press: weigh, add the leaves, pour over the hot water, wait, press, and drink. I usually leave an ounce or so of water in the pot ... and then brew subsequent pots from the "dregs." I can consistantly get three infusions from this tea, perhaps more if I up the temp and up the steep time (which I usually do). You'll enjoy this one.
