Preparation Guide
Slide through the following step-by-step guideline, and brew the perfect cup of tea at home.
Leaves
Measure With Care
For the perfect brew, use 4g (1 Tbsp) of Ginger Green.
This amount allows you to enjoy the tea’s evolving flavors through up to 3 infusions, each offering new notes with every pour.
Temperature
Gentle Heat
Start cool and raise gradually:
80°C (176°F) → 80°C (176°F) → 80°C (176°F)
Each step draws out new layers of flavor, from delicate umami to rich depth.
Water
The Right Balance
Use 150ml (5oz) of water for each infusion.
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 → 70s → 80s
Each step reveals a new layer of flavor, balancing freshness, depth, and lingering sweetness.
Tips
Perfect Your Infusion
For a lighter taste, reduce brewing by 10 seconds; for a stronger flavor, extend by 10 seconds
First, pour into a Yuzamashi (cooling vessel) to harmonize flavor and aroma before serving.
Always pour until the very last drop, where the richest flavor concentrates.
