💎 WHY THIS GUIDE IS DIFFERENT

━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━

❌ OTHER GUIDES: "Steep green tea at 80°C for 2 minutes."

✅ THIS GUIDE: "Green tea contains catechins (EGCG, ECG) with solubility threshold at 75°C. At 80°C, you're extracting 15-20% per minute. This is why 2 minutes works—beyond that, you cross into bitter compound territory. Here's the molecular explanation..."

❌ OTHER GUIDES: "Store tea in a cool, dark place."

✅ THIS GUIDE: "Light (especially UV 280-400nm) photo-oxidizes catechins into quinones, creating stale, cardboard flavors. Oxygen exposure triggers enzymatic browning via polyphenol oxidase. Here's the chemistry breakdown and a container comparison table showing oxygen permeability rates..."

This isn't tea ceremony romanticism. This is applied chemistry that lets you DIAGNOSE problems ("Why does my Gyokuro taste flat?") and SOLVE them systematically.

❓ FREQUENTLY ASKED QUESTIONS

━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━

Q: I already have the free lite edition. Is this worth upgrading?

A: The lite edition (12 pages) covers foundational water chemistry and brewing methods—enough to improve your daily tea. The complete edition (26 pages) adds 5 advanced sections: tea chemistry, processing science, storage optimization, terroir analysis, and professional troubleshooting. If you want to understand WHY tea behaves the way it does (not just HOW to brew it), the complete edition is essential.

Q: Is this for beginners or experts?

A: Both. The guide starts with fundamentals (water, temperature, vessels) then progresses to competition-level techniques. Beginners will learn proper brewing basics. Experts will discover the molecular chemistry behind terroir, oxidation, and compound extraction.

Q: Can I print this for my café staff?

A: Yes! The guide is designed for printing (A4 format, clean page breaks). You can print as many copies as you need for training purposes.

Q: Do you cover herbal teas/tisanes?

A: This guide focuses on Camellia sinensis (true tea): green, white, oolong, black, pu-erh. Herbal infusions (rooibos, chamomile, etc.) follow different chemistry and aren't covered.

Q: What format is the download?

A: PDF format, compatible with all devices (desktop, tablet, phone). No special software needed—any PDF reader works.

Q: Will this help me fix bitter/flat/weak tea?

A: Absolutely. Section 7 (Professional Troubleshooting) includes diagnostic flowcharts for common problems: bitterness, astringency, flatness, weakness, over-extraction. We explain the chemical cause and provide step-by-step solutions.
