Water temperature (80°C · 176°F) is important to bring out of the best of sencha green tea.
Using soft water with fewer minerals is recommended to ensure the quality of the tea.

(1) Pour 300 ml · 10.14 oz of boiled water into empty tea cups (Yunomi) and let the water cool down to about 80-90°C · 176-194°F.

(2) Put 10 g · 2 tbsp of sencha green tea leaves into a teapot (Kyusu).

(3) Pour the hot water from the tea cups into the teapot and wait for 60 seconds. Make sure not to shake the tea pot while brewing, which brings out the bitterness.

(4) Pour sencha green tea into the tea cups. When serving several cups of tea, pour a little into each cup in turn, then repeat in reverse order to ensure an even density of tea in each cup. Make sure not to leave any tea in the teapot as the last drops contain the essence of sencha’s richness.

(5) Enjoy!
