The Japanese method of brewing tea called senchado helps concentrate the flavors of high-quality green teas such as Sencha or Gyokuro. It usually involves several infusions with the same tea leaves. Following this method is not difficult. First, heat the cups and the teapot and put 1-2 teaspoons of tea into the latter. Then take boiling water and pour it into an unheated bowl to cool it down a little. After that, pour the water onto the leaves and wait thirty seconds before pouring the tea into the cups. Otherwise, empty the teapot completely so that the tea does not continue steeping. This first infusion should be the longest, since the leaves initially need to absorb the water. After drinking the tea, make a new infusion in the same way, waiting fifteen to twenty seconds before pouring the tea into cups. Subsequent infusions can be even shorter. If you follow the procedure with care, you may notice new flavors developing with each infusion. According to many connoisseurs, this is the ideal way to enjoy Japanese green tea.
