There is no certain answer for the question. My way to brewing Bai Hao Silver Needles.
1. Rinse tea cup and teapot with hot water.
2. Fill the teapot 1/2 to 3/4 full with tea leaves, or 3 grams of tea leaves for every 150ml of water if you are not using purple clay. Steep tea leaves in hot water at 85°c (185°F) to 90°c (194°F) for 1 minute for the first and second brewing.
3. Gradually increase steeping time and temperature for subsequent brewing.
