Brewing Instructions

  1. 1

    Boil Water

    Bring water to a boil in a kettle or pot.

  2. 2

    Let Water Cool

    Once boiling, let the water cool for about 3 minutes to reach approximately 175°F (80°C), which is ideal for brewing Sencha.

  3. 3

    Add Tea Leaves

    Place the Sencha green tea leaves in a teapot or tea infuser.

  4. 4

    Pour Water

    Pour the cooled water over the tea leaves.

  5. 5

    Steep

    Allow the tea to steep for 1-2 minutes. Adjust steeping time according to taste; less time for a lighter flavor, more for a stronger taste.

  6. 6

    Strain and Serve

    Strain the tea into a cup, discarding the leaves, and enjoy your deep steamed Sencha green tea.
