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. |
