How to brew: 

This houhin set designed brew Gyokuro or high grade Japanese green tea.

  1. Put enough amount of tea leaves in a houhin.
  2. Put hot water in another houhin and wait until the water temperature goes down to approx 40℃.
  3. Pour the 40℃ water into houhin with tea leaves and wait.
  4. Pour the tea into cups. Each persons/cups should have very little amount. 
  5. Because tea in this way is very thick and strong with good aroma. Even small amount  satisfy you. (only Gyokuro or high grade tea can work this way, because tea leave contain lots of components such as amino acid)
  6. You can brew more than 3 times. 

You can enjoy deep essence of green tea in this way. You can use this houhin to brew for yourself alone, too.


Note: tea leaves absorb 4 times of water of itself. (5g tea leaves absorb 20 ml of water theoretically)

Tip of poring:

When poring tea from Houhin to each cups, if it is slow tilting, tea can flow from spout along to the surface of the body of houhin. It is better to tilt sharply. 

It is also good to pour all tea into your pitcher (Gong dao bei) first then pour to the cups.
