If there is any instruction on how to prepare a cup of tea in the packing of the expensive Japanese green tea Gyokuro, it is often a few times the 1 to 100 tealeaves to water ratio, 20 to 60 seconds, and most definitely below 80°C (mostly 65!) In a serious demonstration or a Japanese tea ceremony for gyokuro, very often a 250 or 300 ml pot made from Yixing clay is used. I wouldn’t call that gongfu tea. I’d say good tea-making
