Brewing:Infuse at approximately 80 degrees Celsius (176 degrees Fahrenheit) - this can be achieved by adding 1 quarter of the volume of tap water to the boiling water before adding the leaves. Infusing at a higher temperature will cause the tea to taste bitter. Allow the tea to infuse for 30 seconds to 3 minutes.
