For Leaves in a Bowl, use an 8-10 oz bowl, with 1 pinch or 2-3 grams or more of leaf as a starting point. Experiment to find your personal preference for different types of tea.  Add hot water.  Let the tea brew for a few minutes.  Enjoy the aroma and the warmth of the bowl.  Watch the leaves begin to unfurl.  Take your time drinking.  You may resteep the tea several times.
