|
| 1. | Fill
Yuzamashi (cool off vessel) to the blue line and let the water cool off to about
40 degrees (about the temperature for a hot bath). | |
| 2. | Insert
about 5 g of Gyokuro ( 1 tbsp.) into the Susuri cup (vessel with lid).
One
bag of MaikoTea Susuri Gyokuro contains exactly 5 g! |
|
| 3. | Pour
the cooled off water (40
degree) from the Yuzamashi
into the Susuri cup.
Note: Please do not pour directly
on the leaves but into the space surrounding the leaves!
Wait for about
2 minutes. The color of the tea will change into a clear, bright-green. |

|
|
| 4. | Now
your Gyokuro is ready to drink! (upper part of image)
Put the lid on the Susuri
cup but keep a small slit facing your body. Hold your thumbs close to the center
of the lid. Now lift the cup high above your mouth; you should actually be facing
the ceiling while slurping the tea through the open slit of the Susuri cup. |
|
| 5. | Repeat
the steps 1, 2 and 4 for about 4 times as long as the tea yields a tasty flavor.
After the second steeping decrease the time of steeping. |
|
| 6. | Since
it is "mottainai" (waste) to throw away used up leaves after infusions, please
look up our methods to recycle leaves after infusions.
