Brewing the perfect gyokuro
1. Bring your water to a boil.
2. Pour 70 mL or 2.5 ounces of boiling water into your kyusu.
3. Pour directly from your kyusu into your serving cup and allow the water to cool for 60 seconds. This brings the water to the ideal brewing temperature of 140 F or 60 C.
4. Weigh out 7 grams of Kettl Gyokuro (or roughly 2 tsp) and add it to your kyusu.
Start a timer and immediately pour the water from your serving cup back into your kyusu.
5. When the timer reads 120 seconds, evenly distribute the brewed tea between your two tea cups by pouring from your kyusu with a rocking motion through your strainer. Enjoy.
For a second steep and third steep, repeat with similar parameters.
