Jacob tea lifestyle with handcrafted Japanese teaware

Brewing the perfect sencha

1. Bring your water to a boil.

2. Pour 220 mL or 7.5 ounces of boiling water into your kyusu. Then pour directly from your kyusu into your two serving cups. This brings the water to the ideal brewing temperature of 175 F or 80 C. If you’re only brewing into a single cup, allow the water to cool for 60 seconds.

3. Weigh out 7 grams of Kettl Sencha (or roughly 2 tsp) and add it to your kyusu.

4. Start a timer and immediately pour the water from your two serving cups back into your kyusu.

5. When the timer reads 45 seconds pour the brewed tea from your kyusu with a rocking motion through the strainer, divided evenly between your two teacups. Enjoy.
