(2) Pour the hot water in the teapot into tea cups (Yunomi) to let the water cool down to about 70-80°C · 158-176°F.

(3) Put 10 g · 2 tbsp of josencha green leaves into the teapot.

(4) Pour the hot water from the teacups into the teapot and wait for 60 seconds. Make sure not to shake the tea pot while brewing as this will bring out the bitterness.
