Brewing data
First-party brewing parameters for every tea on the site — real grams, real temperatures, real steep schedules. This is the same data that powers the grams calculator and brewing timer, published as a plain table so people — and machines — can read it without running our app.

Per-tea data pages
Static, indexable parameter pages generated from the same validated dataset as the JSON endpoint.
Western-style cups use a lower leaf dose and one or two longer steeps; the steep counts above are for gongfu brewing (small vessel, many short infusions). See each tea type and brewing guide for the full method, or the tools to brew along.
