How to make good tea?

The key to drinking delicious tea is to boil the hot water sufficiently and pay attention to the temperature of the hot water depending on the type of tea.

Fragrance for Shincha

Cool the hot water to about 70 degrees, pour a lot of tea leaves into the teapot gently, and leave it for about 40 to 50 seconds.

Taste for Sencha
For Sencha, the taste is critical. Boiled water is not good. Pour more tea leaves into the bowl for about 20 to 30 seconds and pour until the last drop.
