Nononononono. What these places give you are only starting points. You
mustn't think that you shouldn't brew green or white teas cooler than the
recommended temp.

Yesyesyesyesyes.

Same thing about temps apply to amounts. Start w/ 1 tsp. of tea per cup and
then increase/decrease to suit your personal taste.

Except for gunpowder...start with 1/2 tsp. of tea per cup.

Except for Japanese teas...start 10F lower than you would for other green
teas.

Heh.
