thanks, but I'm not satisfied with the brews that I'm
getting and am getting discouraged.
oh, sorry that I didn't say, but I don't use a gaiwan.
I use a brewing basket, (finum) in a mug. that is why
I need measurements.
I want to be successful at this method before even considering
a gaiwan.

If you could provide us with some measurements of your own, for example, how big your mug is, we might be able to help.

teabest: One thing about Wuyi is that each different Wuyi yancha can be a bit different. I have some that are really best brewed almost western style, and others that are best with huge amount of leaf. So giving exact parameters might be hard without more information. What are you trying to brew, and what vendor was it from? As Scruff mentioned, it would help to get a better idea of what you're using to brew it. Also, what about water temperature, and are you pre-heating?
