The included brew guide

A starting point — brew each one this way first.

Tea Leaf Temp Time Steeps Note
Yinzhen 银针 4g 78°C 90s, +20s 4 Slow. The downy buds need warmth — not heat — to give their melon-rind sweetness.
Moonlight 月光白 4g 85°C 60s, +15s 5 Looser than Fujian whites. Let it sit a beat longer than feels right.
Shou Mei 寿眉 5g 90°C 45s, +15s 6 The riper leaf takes hotter water gracefully. Try it cold-brewed overnight too.
Wild-tree 野生白 4g 82°C 75s, +20s 5 A more savory white. Camphor underneath the orchard.
