Brewing sencha is a ritual that requires precision. To prepare it, you need about 1 teaspoon (3 grams of tea) for every 200 ml of water. Boil the water and wait until it cools down to 70 to 80 degrees Celsius.
Don’t use too hot water, otherwise the sencha will turn bitter. Place the tea leaves in a pot, pour over them and steep for about 2 minutes. However, the exact brewing time should depend on your preferences (the longer, the more intense it will be). You can do this many times – even 2/3 times.
