Step-by-step brewing method for Indian kitchens
Time the first infusion Start a timer as soon as the water hits the leaves. Aim for about 1 minute for a balanced cup. If you prefer a milder taste, try closer to 45 seconds next time; if you want a bit more punch, try 75 seconds, but avoid going much beyond that unless the water is fairly cool.

Let the water cool to sencha-friendly heat Pour the just-boiled water into your empty mug and let it sit for about 2–3 minutes. This simple step usually brings the water down into the right range for sencha without needing a thermometer. Then pour this slightly cooled water over the leaves in your pot or infuser.

Measure the tea and water For one medium mug (around 200–250 ml), use about one and a half level teaspoons of loose-leaf sencha (roughly 3–4 grams). If you are sharing and brewing in a small pot for two mugs, simply double both the water and the leaves. Place the dry leaves directly into a teapot, a heat-safe jug, or an infuser basket that fits inside your mug.

Measure your tea leaves Use about 1 level teaspoon (around 2 g) of sencha for 1 cup (about 200 ml) of water. Too many leaves can make the brew overpowering. [1]
