Heat the Filtered water to approximately 80-85 degrees Celsius. Avoid boiling the water vigorously, as this can diminish the delicate flavor of green tea.

Warm your brewing vessel (gaiwan or small teapot) and serving cup by pouring a small amount of the heated Filtered water into them, then discard.
