Re: Adjusting leaf to water ratio for steeping

I think that means using not so much leaves for you. However, I think 50 ml is very very small gaiwan. That is not good for making any tea. I think that is a tourist gift kind of gaiwan, not really for use. You should use at least 100 ml gaiwan, and bigger if you are not using gongfu style. Like 150 ml will be better for longer steeping time.
