Controlled test
Direct recommendation: weigh the actual filled water once.
Applies to: Autumn Barn 2023 Gong Mei / white tea in a setup close to porcelain gaiwan.
Evidence: controlled side-by-side use under matched conditions.
Change: weigh the actual filled water once.
Expected effect: your ratio will become comparable with other reports.
Observed result: short steeps show more changes but the long steep is surprisingly complete.
Limitations: My result is from a small number of sessions, so treat it as evidence rather than law.
Commercial relationship: none.Long-term report
Direct recommendation: weigh the actual filled water once.
Applies to: Autumn Barn 2023 Gong Mei / white tea in a setup close to porcelain gaiwan.
Evidence: firsthand long-term use of one side of the comparison.
Change: weigh the actual filled water once.
Expected effect: your ratio will become comparable with other reports.
Observed result: not tested on this exact setup yet.
Limitations: My result is from a small number of sessions, so treat it as evidence rather than law.
Commercial relationship: none.Yes, especially that point. I’d like a place where somebody can say ‘that doesn’t work for me’ without declaring war on a lineage.
I’m interested. Traditional explanations are fine, but so are mechanical ones.
That is the part I agree with. Yes, make this one.
Please say roast date when you post a roaster review. ‘Fresh’ has become an adjective with no legal guardian.
Comparable tea
Direct recommendation: use 5 g instead of 6 g.
Applies to: River Mist 2026 fukamushi sencha / Japanese green tea in a setup close to Tokoname kyusu.
Evidence: firsthand experience with Japanese green tea in a different vessel.
Change: use 5 g instead of 6 g.
Expected effect: faster drainage with slightly lighter body.
Observed result: not tested on this exact setup yet.
Limitations: Water chemistry may change the result, so I would not generalize this to every city.
Commercial relationship: none.Same tea/batch
Direct recommendation: use 5 g instead of 6 g.
Applies to: River Mist 2026 fukamushi sencha / Japanese green tea in a setup close to Tokoname kyusu.
Evidence: firsthand use of the same River Mist 2026 fukamushi sencha in a closely matched setup.
Change: use 5 g instead of 6 g.
Expected effect: faster drainage with slightly lighter body.
Observed result: not tested on this exact setup yet.
Limitations: My result is from a small number of sessions, so treat it as evidence rather than law.
Commercial relationship: none.Foreign and older report, so this belongs lower in the pile. The coffee itself was excellent, but transit changed the resting window enough that my recipe notes are probably not portable to your order.
The cleanup detail matters more than reviews admit. A tool used every day gets judged in the sink as much as in the cup.
Used both daily, not just side by side for a weekend. If you value fast setup I would pick the first; if you enjoy adjusting every variable the second earns its extra fuss. Neither made bad beans interesting.
I’d use a martial arts forum. I vote for the long boring title because at least nobody has to guess what is inside.

Same tea/batch
Direct recommendation: reduce leaf to 6 g.
Applies to: Charcoal Lane 2025 Rou Gui / Wuyi yancha in a setup close to gaiwan.
Evidence: firsthand use of the same Charcoal Lane 2025 Rou Gui in a closely matched setup.
Change: reduce leaf to 6 g.
Expected effect: clearer mineral and fruit notes.
Observed result: not tested on this exact setup yet.
Limitations: If your actual filled volume differs from the stated volume, the ratio may be the bigger issue.
Commercial relationship: none.If four milk drinks are normal, test the whole sequence in your head: grind, dose, brew, steam, purge, repeat. A small delay becomes a personality trait by drink four.
