3. Rinse: 1–2 short rinses for 5–10 seconds, drain.
4. Steeping: Start with 8-12 seconds; add 3-5 seconds to each subsequent steeping. Lasts 8-12 steepings; you can increase the temperature/time slightly later.

📌 Tips:
Break the tea cake/bar into even pieces, avoiding any dust. Let the tea "breathe" for 10–20 minutes before brewing. Use soft water—the flavor will be cleaner and sweeter.
