To cool off, pour boiling water into as many cups as persons you serve. Let it cool off to 50'C for Gyokuro and 80'C for Sencha.
Two heaping tablespoonfuls of tea leaves : 10g.
(The higher the quality, the more tea leaves you can use.)
Pour cooled off hot water into the pot as if drawing a circle inside with the water.
How long to wait
Three minutes for Gyokuro
One minute for Sencha
40 seconds for Fukamushi-cha
When tea leaves have just begun to open up, the tea is ready to be served.
For Fukamushi-cha

Use a tea pot with a strainer installed at the foot of the spout.
After tea leaves and an appropriate amount of water are put into the pot, turn it once closkwise and again the other way around before serving so that the tea leaves and the water blend properly to produce characteristic flavor and color of Fukamushi-cha.
Do not fill one cup at a time.Pour a little in each cup so that when you go back to the first cup, the taste of all cups will be of the same level. Pour until not a single drop is left in the pot. This is how you can make a good second brew.
Gyokuro is best enjoyed by sipping slowly and little by little.

And, lastly let the bottom of the pot hit
@your palm lightly, "Pop."

This will make the tea leaves blocking the foot of the spout spread level in the pot again, resulting in a flavorful second and a third brewing.
