About these numbers
The temperatures and times above are typical ranges, not rules — leaf grade, water and taste all move them, and your tea’s own packet instructions always win. As a rough compass: shaded teas like gyokuro like cooler water and a longer, patient steep; roasted teas like hojicha and genmaicha like hot water and a short one; matcha isn’t steeped at all — it’s whisked.
