Brewing Steps

1. Prep: Tear along the perforated line.

3. Bloom: Pour just enough hot water (92°C – 96°C) to wet the grounds, then pause for 20 seconds to let the coffee breathe.
4. Brew: Slowly pour the remaining water (total 150ml), ensuring the grounds are evenly saturated.
5. Enjoy: Remove the bag and savor your quiet moment.

(Tip: 150ml is roughly filling a standard 250ml mug about halfway to two-thirds full, leaving room for the bag)
