    🌱How to Make Delicious Tea: Traditional Japanese Tea Recipes🌱

    Get high quality Japanese Sencha in our store


    Ingredients:
    - Sencha Tea Leaves: 2 teaspoons (about 4g)
    - Water: 6.8 fl oz (200ml)
    - Teapot and Teacup

    Steps:
    1. Place 2 teaspoons (about 4g) of sencha tea leaves in the teapot.
    2. Heat water to around 176°F (80°C).
    3. Pour the hot water into the teapot and then immediately transfer it to a teacup to adjust the temperature.
    4. Pour the cooled-down water from the teacup back into the teapot.
    5. Gradually pour the water from the teapot into the teacup, allowing the tea to steep.
    6. Steep for 60 to 90 seconds.
    7. Carefully pour the tea from the teapot into the teacup, making sure to squeeze out every last drop.
    8. For regular sencha, you can directly pour hot water from the kettle into the teapot.

    Pro Tips:
    For higher-grade sencha, use a lower water temperature (around 158°F or 70°C) to bring out more umami flavors.
    For regular sencha, a water temperature between 176°F to 194°F (80°C to 90°C) works well.
