The guidelines are a good place to start. Generally, I stick with them when making it in a gaiwan or pot.
Water to leaf ratio also makes a difference – with the April Mist, it advises between 75-85 if I remember. Use more leaves if you are infusing on the lower end, fewer if on the higher. It’s been a while since I’ve tried it this way but 1/2g of leaves per 100ml of water worked fine up around 85.
