Do the first spill/infusion of the tea
Pour the brew in hot water and let infuse for 5 seconds to 5 minutes (according to taste and brewing method). The longer the teas are steeped in water, the more of their beneficial substances they will give to the infusion. But beware of over-extraction: if the tea is steeped in hot water for too long, it may lose its delicate notes and become more pungent and bitter.
