So I take that into consideration: steep tea for 10 seconds plus 20 second pour time equals 30 second infusion. Perfect. :)Space Samuraihttps://www.blogger.com/profile/02452767261195006088noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-7247865670730394030.post-37571614097183368162008-03-27T19:58:00.000-07:002008-03-27T19:58:00.000-07:00Hello,That's a good question.

The shorter you steep you tea, the more pour time can make a difference.<BR/><BR/>If you are brewing black tea for example, and you steep it 4-5 minutes, it wont matter much if your pour time is 10 seconds or 30 seconds.<BR/><BR/>However, in regards to gong fu, if you are steeping tea for 10, 15, or 30 seconds, than pour time is extremely important and must be taken into consideration.<BR/><BR/>Even with sencha, say fukamushicha, I take pour time into consideration, so that I am careful not to over-steep the tea.<BR/><BR/>I hope that answers your question.Space Samuraihttps://www.blogger.com/profile/02452767261195006088noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-7247865670730394030.post-12728201906006075062008-03-27T19:50:00.000-07:002008-03-27T19:50:00.000-07:00I love tea but don't know much about the rules and...I love tea but don't know much about the rules and etiquette of tea.
