Pre-heat the teapot, after inserting the tea strainer or filter, * by rinsing it with boiling water. 2. Place a teaspoon of tea (roughly 2.5 g) per cup in the warm strainer* and let it stand for a few moments, allowing the steam to begin developing the leaves' aroma. 3. Pour simmering water on the tea so that all the leaves are covered. 4. Let the tea steep (refer to chart) o About 2 minutes for fannings o About 3 minutes for broken leaf teas o About 5 minutes for whole leaf teas o Barely 3 minutes do the first flush Darjeeling (slightly increasing the amount of tea to 3.5 g per cup) o 7 minutes for blue teas 5. It is then essential to remove the strainer or filter * containing the leaves. The tea must then be stirred (another important step) and finally poured. Teas from great gardens should not be drunk too hot; let them stand a few moments after steeping, so that the palate can better appreciate the most subtle of fragrances. White and green teas : 1. Pre-heat the pot or chung (cup with cover) as above. 2. Place the appropriate amount of tea per person or cup (refer to chart). Let the tea leaves stand for a few moments to allow the steam to begin developing the aroma. 3. Place the appropriate amount of tea per person or cup (refer to chart). 4. Let the tea steep (refer to chart) : o For green tea, 1 to 3 minutes o For the white tea Yin Zhen, 15 minutes o For the white teas Pain Mu Tan, 7 minutes 5. Remove the tea leaves, stir and serve. * Use a cotton tea filter if the teapot is not equipped with a strainer. .

Rooms are invariably simply but elegantly decorated, with tatami matting. Most ryokan have large, communal segregated baths, and it is common to bathe either before or after dinner. Dinner will usually be served in a dining room, but occasionally in your room. In most ryokan dinner is very elaborately prepared and presented from carefully chosen seasonal ingredients; one of the high points of travelling in Japan, particularly for the Japanese, is to try the local specialities. While you have been eating, the ryokan staff will have laid out your futon in your room, ready for sleeping. Minshuku Minshuku (民宿) are similar to ryokan, but more often than not family-run and a little simpler: the overall experience is much the same but the food is a little less elaborate, dining is communal, bathrooms are shared and guests are expected to lay out their own futon.
