Unfortunately, not all types of tea produced using the same method. In preparation for top grades of green tea such as Sencha or Gyoruku, it is important that the water boils for a few moments to leave and then let it cool slightly before you pour it slowly over the leaves. This is in contrast to the preparation of the black teas like Darjeeling, Ceylon and Assam teas, which are soaked in boiling water.
If you do not allow that to cool the water, it will spoil the tea leaves and the tea taste bitter. As a rule of thumb, the better the quality of the tea, the lower the water has to be.Use for standard-quality green tea, water to a temperature of 90 ° C (194 ° F), has the highest quality green tea, use water with a temperature of 70 ° C (158 ° F) added. Use an electric kettle boil the water, never a microwave to boil the water.
Use a simple thermometer to measure the water temperature before you pour it over the tea leaves. If you do not have a thermometer, let the water cool for 3 minutes at 90 ° C (194 ° F) or 7 minutes to 70 ° C (158 ° F) reach. Of course this is only a rule of thumb, but it works quite well when the ambient temperature is about 20-25 ° C.
Another important factor is the quality of the water you use. Tap water, that too much lime (calcium carbonate), or containing chlorinated should be avoided in any case. Use filtered water or still water instead.
You will get even better results when the brewing pot warm before you pour the water into it, otherwise the water will cool down too quickly, so that the leaves sencha or Gyoruku brewery at a temperature that is less than optimal. After the infusion time by pouring the tea into preheated cups and enjoy a delicious cup of this wonderful drink. If the infusion time is not written on the packet tea, the staff of the tea shop to ask for the appropriate infusion time when there was a distinction between green tea.
Tip: Do not throw away the tea leaves after the first breweries as they can be used to make tea to be at least one more time! But for a second infusion, let the tea brew for three quarters of the time of the first breweries.
If this old method of green tea preparation too complex or too time consuming and you really are a tea lover, consider the Breville Tea, which will facilitate the real green tea manufacturing process.
