Brewing Guide
Use 2 g (1 tsp.) per 6 oz (175ml) of water. Heat water to 175º F. Let steep 2 minutes. Japanese green teas can usually yield 3 infusions. Adjust amount of leaf, brewing time and water temperature according to your personal preference.
In Japan, the custom is to brew Sencha in a kyusu, a traditional Japanese teapot with a side handle. The small size is ideal for brewing multiple infusions from the same leaf.
