Brew better

1. 1. Water

   It is most of the cup, and the variable most people never change.

   • Water chemistry: hardness, alkalinity, chlorine and TDS
   • Boiling water is not one temperature

2. 2. Ratio

   Ratio decides what a sensible time and temperature are.

   • Leaf-to-water ratio, and what it actually controls
   • Why more leaf and less time is a different brew, not a smaller one

3. 3. Temperature and time

   The two levers you will use every day, and how they interact.

   • What changes at each temperature band
   • Does steeping longer make tea stronger?
   • The order things leave the leaf

4. 4. When it goes wrong

   Fixing a real cup teaches more than reading a chart.

   • Troubleshooting
   • Brew assistant
