How to Make Sencha Chirancha Green Tea - Asa Ichiban

Sencha Hot

1. Place 6 g of sencha leaves in the teapot. Once you have tried this amount, increase or decrease the leaves according to your preference.
2. Boil about 180 ml of water, and then let it cool down to 70/80 degrees (to cool quickly, it is recommended to pour the hot water into another container, the water will drop about 10 degrees). It is also recommended to use a thermometer so you can see the temperature.
3. Pour water into the teapot and wait 1 minute.
4. Pouring water too quickly can make the tea taste too harsh, so it is important to handle the teapot carefully and pour slowly to obtain a smooth and harmonious cup of tea. If you are making tea for more than one person, pour a little at a time into each cup to balance the intensity and color. Always remember to pour every last drop.
5. To prevent the second infusion from being too bitter, it is advisable to remove the lid of the teapot.
6. For the next infusions, after pouring the water into the teapot, immediately pour the tea. This will extract the aroma and not make the tea too astringent. Gradually increase the temperature of the water.
