i bet you'll come back in 2-3 months after purchase, finally (re-)read this & try the recipes after i've already recommended it to you. then you’ll finally admit i was right 😂😠😠

also my hot take is tea powders require sugar & a bit of fat, whereas a quality loose leaf requires neither due to the surface areas & extraction rate & water temperature, etc. (nerdy stuff ...)

water quality matters. i strongly suggest first boiling your water (which drives off chlorine & other unwanted flavours) & letting it cool down to room temperature

otherwise, bottled spring water should be good

tap water is not recommended


i strongly suggest using digital scales accurate to 0.1 g
