Preparation Guide

Leaves
Measure With Care
For the perfect brew, use 3g (1 Tbsp) of Sencha.
This amount allows you to enjoy the tea’s evolving flavors through up to 3 infusions, each offering new notes with every pour.
Temperature
Gradually Increase Heat
Raise gradually for each infusion:
70°C (158°F) → 80°C (176°F) → 100°C (212°F)
Each step draws out new layers of flavor, from delicate umami to rich depth.
Water
The Right Balance
Use 120ml (4.1 oz) of water for the first infusion, then 150ml (5 oz) for the remaining infusions.
Consistency ensures every steep reveals the tea’s full character, from the first pour to the last.
Brewing
Timing Each Infusion
Steep with care:
60s → 40s → 120s
Each step reveals a new layer of flavor, balancing freshness, depth, and lingering sweetness.
