How to prepare
5 g 0.2 oz 1.2 US tsp
60°C 140°F
200 ml 6.8 fl oz 200 cc
60 sec.~
1. Put 5 g (1 tsp ) of Mecha into a Japanese teapot.
2. Cool boiled water down to 60℃ (140ºF) and pour it (200 cc) into the teapot.
3. Steap for 1 minutes and pour the equal amount of tea in each cup.
The same tea leaves can be used three times. Use hotter water for the second and third infusion.
Used tea leaves should be immersed for a shorter time.
The taste of tea is a matter of preference, so try infusing tea in several ways and find your favorite taste.
If the tea is prepared as recommended, ie 5 g / 200 ml, 60 ° C / 60 sec., it gives a pleasant tea "with a drop of cream" practically without bitterness and astringency. In my opinion, this is an very good price / performance ratio. Traditional preparation as gyokuro in the ratio 1 g / 10 ml, 40 ° C, 3 min. gives a distinctive tea with noticeable bitterness and a taste reminiscent of nettle.
