Make itthe slow way.

Watch the ceremony, lay out your box, and take your time. Give yourself an hour and invite someone.

Host’s notes

Do it slowly, and do it in front of people.

The roast decides the flavour: lighter is brighter and fruitier, darker is bolder. A new clay jebena is best boiled with plain water once before its first brew. Rinse it with water only, never soap, and let it dry with the stopper out.

Ready when you are

Everything above is in the box.
