Brewing Fundamentals

Five things change almost every cup.

You do not need to memorize a giant brewing chart. Learn what each variable does, then adjust one at a time.

01

Time

Longer contact usually means more extraction. Too long can make some teas feel drying or bitter.

02

Temperature

Heat changes how quickly the leaf gives up flavor. Hotter is not automatically better.

03

Leaf

More leaf changes concentration and body. It is a different adjustment from simply steeping longer.

04

Water

The water itself affects clarity and extraction. Fresh water gives you a cleaner baseline.

05

Taste

Your palate closes the loop. Brewing advice is a starting point; your preferred cup is the destination.

Slide the water temperature. This is not a universal brewing rule; it is a simple way to understand one variable before you change another.

175°F Gentle

A softer starting range for many green and delicate teas. Taste before deciding what to change next.

The Danfe Method

Your cup of tea is your cup of tea.

Brewing instructions are starting points. The goal is not obedience to a chart; it is learning what your own cup is telling you.

  1. 01

    Start

    Make a sensible baseline cup.

  2. 02

    Taste

    Notice what you like and what you want to change.

  3. 03

    Change One Thing

    Adjust time, temperature or leaf — not everything at once.

  4. 04

    Taste Again

    Compare the result so the change actually teaches you something.

  5. 05

    Find Your Cup

    Keep what works for your palate and repeat it.

My green tea tastes bitter.
Start by changing one variable. If you used very hot water, try a cooler brew while keeping your leaf quantity and steeping time the same. Taste again and compare.
