Green (Japanese)
Steamed greens like sencha and gyokuro. Brew short and cool.
Baseline: 2.5–3 g loose leaf per 200 mL water.
- Water
- 158°F / 70°C
- Steep
- 30–90 sec
- Use 2.5–3 g loose leaf per 200 mL in a small pot (kyusu).
- Cool water to 158°F / 70°C — pouring it between cups first helps.
- Steep just 30–90 seconds.
- Pour out every last drop, then re-steep with slightly hotter water and a shorter time.
