How to prepare Japanese sencha?

To appreciate the aromas of sencha, it is recommended to use hot water cooled to about 70°C. To prepare about four small cups, use 8 to 10 g of tea leaves for 250 ml of water.

Pour the water over the leaves in a teapot and let it steep for about 1 minute. Then distribute the tea gradually between the cups, pouring a little at a time into each one, in order to obtain a homogeneous infusion.

Sencha generally allows for up to 3 infusions. For subsequent ones, reduce the steeping time by about 30 seconds to adapt the extraction of aromas.
