Gather your tools
A bag of your favorite Kettl Wakoucha
Tea kettle with boiling water
A kyusu (teapot)
One large tea cup
Digital kitchen scale
Tea strainer (optional)
Brewing the perfect wakoucha
1. Bring your water to a boil.
2. Pour 220 mL (7.5 ounces) of boiling water into your kyusu.
3. Pour directly from your kyusu into your serving cup. This preheats the kyusu and your cup.
4. Dump the preheating water.
5. Weigh out 5 grams of Kettl wakoucha (or roughly 2 tsp) and add it to your kyusu.
6. Start a timer and immediately pour a fresh 220ml of water off the boil directly into your kyusu.
7. When the timer reads 90 seconds pour the brewed tea from your kyusu with a rocking motion through the strainer into your tea cup. Enjoy.
