   @kensanata Do you like Japanese tea? From what I understand, gyokuro tea tastes better when it is boiled at a low temperature of about 60 °C (140 °F) for about a minute to bring out the bitterness and sweetness. But this is a liking, so you can do what you like.

     Wikipedia says tamaryokucha (玉緑茶, coiled tea) “should be steeped at 70°C for about 2 minutes or 80°C for about 1 minute” … hm, I guess I like my tea a lot lighter with 10–20s at 70°C, seeping it about three or four times. #tea
