How to make green tea (Sencha)

 Here is saying when you make green tea:

“Don’t scald tea leaf in boiling water and don’t let tea leaf drown in too much hot water.”

Step1

Once you boil water, pour some in the first tea cup. Pour the same hot water in the second cup and then pour it in the third cup.  You will get the hot water of about 70℃ in third cup. Changing from one to another lowers the temperature of the hot water by 10℃．

Step2

Put tea leaf of about 5 grams in a teapot when you brew tea for two. Pour the hot water of the third cup a little over the level of tea leaf. Wait about 30 seconds. Pour the brewed tea in two cups to the final drop.

Following the above steps, you will surely be relaxed with a fresh fragrance and a sweet taste.
