Green Sencha Tea

For a hot tea preparation, the usual measurement is 1 teaspoon for every cup, while for iced tea, it's 2 teaspoons per cup. Therefore, to make hot tea in a 1-litre teapot, you would use approximately 4 teaspoons of tea.

Prefer your tea with a stronger flavour? Add another teaspoon of tea instead of increasing the brewing time, and stick to the suggested steeping duration.

When mixing milk into your black tea, steep it for themaximum time suggested. Keep in mind, milk is typically reserved for black teas; white, green, and herbal teas are often enjoyed without any additions.

For white, green, and oolong teas, an ideal temperature is 80°C. Achieve this by mixing 20% cold water with 80% boiling water into a jug. Before adding your tea, swirl some hot water in your teapot or cup and then pour it out. This preheats your tea vessel, preventing it from rapidly cooling down your brew.
