Advanced brewing tips: Whilst green tea has a general brewing guide, every type of tea is has its individual character so once you get to know the tea you can adapt the parameters to suit the tea's and your preference.
Note that cooler water will bring out more sweetness/softness in the tea but will need slightly longer infusion to achieve a more flavoursome brew. Following this logic hotter water will bring out stronger flavours faster. Also higher tea to water ratio will give more strength.
Porcelain and glass vessels have a neutral flavour and so you will get the most 'honest' result from your brew and is most recommend for brewing green tea.
If you chose raw clay (unglazed) then Duan Ni (light grey/beige clay) vessels are most recommend from China. We can also suggest to try Tokoname clay teapots from Japan.
