For
Tea drinkers tuning leaf, water, and steeping time
Worth noticing
The tables distinguish 240 ml Western brewing from 100 ml gongfu brewing and include later-steep ranges.

Field notes

The reference distinguishes leaf quantities and timings for Western and gongfu brewing, including separate guidance for rolled and roasted oolongs, raw and ripe pu-erh, and herbal infusions. Its timer runs in the page, accepts 15-second adjustments, and extends later steeps. The site also frames tasting vocabulary as a consistency tool for notebook entries rather than as a set of prestige terms.
