We are so excited to release the brew guide for our brand-new Organic Sencha Yabukita.

Plus we'll give you some practical advice for getting the most out of brewing your tea — including talking about the effects that temperature and time have on your tea.

Brew Guide:

 Amount: 6g (about 2tsp) Sencha

Water: 180ml (about 6oz) of 160º-175ºF water. 

Time: 30 seconds - 1 minute, or up to 2 minutes depending on your preference. You may also try hotter temperatures for shorter periods of time. You'll experience a range of flavors. Using the guide above will give you a sweeter cup, while using a hot water + short time brew method will extract more vegetal notes. Don't be afraid to experiment! Our producer notes that this particular tea reveals a super fresh flavor at higher temperatures while developing a more savory taste when brewed at lower temperatures. 

 

How To Brew Sencha:

Step 1: Add Sencha Leaves to a teapot (Tokoname Kyusu)

Step 2: Add the 6oz of 160º-175ºF water. 

Step 3: Let sencha brew in the hot water for 30 seconds to 1 minute. (Try to experiment to find how you like your Sencha)

Step 4: Pour into your favorite tea cup. Ours is the Speckled Sable Yunomi
