How to make it

5 steps. Take it one step at a time.

  1. Heat the filtered water

    Heat the filtered water to approximately 80°C (176°F). If you do not have a thermometer, let boiling water sit for 2 minutes to cool slightly.

    2 min

  2. Place the green tea leaves

    Place the green tea leaves into a teapot or a tea infuser inside your cup.

  3. Pour the hot water

    Pour the hot water over the tea leaves. Cover the cup or teapot to retain heat and aroma.

  4. Let the tea steep

    Let the tea steep for 2 to 3 minutes depending on your preferred strength.

    3 min

  5. Remove the infuser or strain the tea

    Remove the infuser or strain the tea into another cup and enjoy immediately.

A little kitchen wisdom

Using water that is slightly below boiling (around 80°C/176°F) prevents the tea leaves from burning and becoming bitter. Steeping time is crucial; do not over-steep.
