Brewing the Tea

Measure the Water
Start by measuring 1 cup of fresh, filtered water. It's important to use good quality water for the best flavor.

Heat the Water
Pour the water into a kettle and heat it until it reaches a temperature of about 160°F to 180°F (70°C to 80°C). Avoid boiling the water as it can burn the delicate tea leaves.

Add the Tea Leaves
Once the water is heated, add 2 teaspoons of Japanese green tea leaves to a teapot or a cup.
- 4
Pour the Water
Carefully pour the hot water over the tea leaves in the teapot or cup.

Steep the Tea
Let the tea steep for about 2 to 3 minutes. Adjust the steeping time according to your taste preference; longer steeping will result in a stronger flavor.

Strain and Serve
After steeping, strain the tea leaves using a fine mesh strainer or simply remove the tea leaves if using a tea infuser. Pour the tea into cups.
