Use water around 95–100°C \/ 203–212°F. Give the pearl a brief rinse, then begin with an 8–15 second infusion. Add a little more time to later steeps as the pearl loosens and the leaves fully open.\u003c\/p\u003e\u003cp\u003e\u003cstrong\u003eMug or everyday teapot:\u003c\/strong\u003e Use one pearl for roughly 300–400ml of hot water. Steep for 2–3 minutes and re-steep several times. For a lighter, more aromatic cup, shorten the first infusion; for deeper sweetness, extend the later steeps.\u003c\/p\u003e\u003ch3\u003eWhen to drink\u003c\/h3\u003e\u003cp\u003eThis bright style works particularly well in the late morning or afternoon.
