Who Is This For
For years I brewed green tea the same way I brewed everything else — boiling water, five minutes, done. No wonder I thought tea was supposed to be bitter. Then one afternoon I tried using water that was just below boiling, and I steeped it for maybe ninety seconds. The cup was sweet. Floral. Completely different from anything I'd made before. That one small change ruined me — in the best way. I spent the next month obsessing over temperatures and timers, and honestly, I haven't stopped since.
