How to Brew a Perfect Cup (See diagram in picture gallery)
Hint: Use good, freshly boiled water; you can’t make good tea with bad water!
Brew Temp: Near boiling water. About 95°C (200°F)
Brew Time: 2 minutes
How Much: 1 tsp per cup (120 ml)
1 - Add Tea to Teapot
One teaspoon per cup. However, you may adjust the amount depending on your own taste.
2 - Add Hot Water to Teapot, and Brew
You will be pouring enough water for the number of cups you wish to prepare. So, if you want to prepare 2 cups of tea, then pour 2 cups of water, not more!
Close the lid of the teapot. Let the tea brew for about 2 minutes. You may adjust the time for what suits your palate best.
DO NOT stir, shake or mix the tea while brewing.
3 - Serve and Enjoy!
Pour small amounts of tea into each cup at a time, and go around until the very last drop is poured. Japanese firmly believe that the last drop of tea determines its taste as a whole!
You can add hot water again to the teapot for a second, or even a third brewing.
