Delicious ways to drink

To brew delicious deep-steamed green tea, it's important to first lower the water temperature, put the tea leaves in the teapot, pour in the hot water, let it steep for a certain amount of time, then pour it evenly in a circular motion, squeezing out every last drop.

How to brew deep-steamed green tea:
1. Cool the water:
Transfer boiling water to a teacup or similar container and let it cool to about 70-80°C. If pouring the water directly into the teapot, it's easier to adjust the temperature if you let it cool in a teacup first.

2. Add the tea leaves:
Put the deep-steamed green tea leaves into the teapot. About one teaspoon per person is a guideline, but adjust to your preference.

3. Pour the water:
Slowly pour the cooled water into the teapot. Because deep-steamed green tea leaves are finely ground, the steeping time should be relatively short (about 30 seconds).

4. Pour in a circular motion:
Pour the tea little by little while rotating the teapot to distribute it evenly. Squeeze out every last drop to avoid uneven brewing.

Key points:
Deep-steamed green tea has finely ground leaves and its components dissolve easily, so shorten the steeping time.
The ideal water temperature is around 70-80°C.
If there is any leftover water in the teapot, the taste of subsequent infusions will be spoiled, so squeeze out every last drop.
For the second and subsequent infusions, use hotter water than the first infusion and let it steep for a while before pouring.
When pouring the tea, pouring it in a circular motion will help to distribute the flavor evenly.

To enjoy deep-steamed green tea brewed with cold water, it's recommended to use a slightly larger amount of tea leaves and steep it in the refrigerator for 3-4 hours.
Deep-steamed green tea is rich in umami components, so brewing it with cold water brings out a mellow and sweet flavor.

1. Preparing the tea leaves:
Use about 10g of deep-steamed tea leaves per liter of water. When brewing with cold water, it will taste better if you brew it more strongly than when brewing with hot water.

2. Extraction:
Place the tea leaves and water in a cold water pitcher and let it steep in the refrigerator for 3-4 hours. Adding ice will allow for a slower extraction, resulting in a more flavorful taste.

3. Serving:
Gently shake the cold tea pot before pouring into a glass and enjoy at your preferred strength.

Key points:
Amount of tea leaves: For cold brewing, use slightly more tea leaves than you would for hot brewing to bring out a stronger flavor.
Brewing time: Deep-steamed green tea has a strong umami flavor, so adjust the brewing time to approximately 3-4 hours.
Ice: Adding ice will make it milder and bring out the sweetness.
Type of tea leaves: Deep-steamed green tea is suitable for cold brewing.
Storage: Cold-brewed green tea should be consumed as soon as possible to preserve its flavor.
　　　Storing it in the refrigerator for a long time will cause it to turn yellowish.
