玉露のおいしい俺れ方 

1.玉露をおいしくいただく最大のポイントは、湯の温度。適温は約40~50度とぬるめ。まずは沸騰したお湯をいったん急須に入れ、ふたをして冷ましておく。



2.湯の温度をさらに下げるため、急須から茶碗に湯を移す。玉露の場合、ひとり分の湯の量は30mlとごく少量でよい。


3.急須の水気をよくふき取ってから、茶葉を入れる。玉露は、ほかのお茶より茶葉を多めに使うのが特徴。ひとり分はティースプーンに山盛り2杯(5g)。ただし、3人分以上を一度に淹れる場合は、湯と茶葉の量を少し控え目に。


4.茶碗の湯を急須に移し、ふたをして約2分。急須を動かさず、じっくりと蒸らすこと。


5.人数分の茶葉に少量ずつ注ぎわけ、最後の一滴まで注ぎきる。

煎茶と新茶のおいしい俺れ方 

1.煎茶の適温は約70度。沸騰した湯は、やかんからいったん茶碗に注ぎ、温度を下げるのが基本。人数分の茶碗に、各八分目ほどのお湯を注ぎわけ、ひと呼吸おいて冷ましておく。


2.煎茶の場合、ひとり分はティースプーン1杯(約2g)が目安。人数分の茶葉を正確に測って、急須に入れる。


3.茶碗に注いでおいた湯を、急須に移す。移し変えるごとに湯の温度が下がるので、ここでちょうど煎茶の適温(約70度)くらいになる。


4.急須にふたをして、そのまま1分待って蒸らす。ここで急須を揺らす必要はない。


5.濃さや味が均等になるよう、人数分の茶碗に少量ずつ注ぐ。急須に湯が残っていると、二煎目以降の味が悪くなるので、最後の一滴まで注ぎきること。

Really? I had it served to me often in Japan... especially on hot summer days! I guess it's the area thing again. I happen to like it though.... sweatdrop

EDIT: Ah!! Sorry-- you were constructing weren't you.. should I delete this post?

My favorite tea is 玄米茶(genmaicha). I liked this one from Coca Cola Company that was like 七色亜茶, but I don't really like the teas you can get in vending machines [over actually making it yourself], the sencha is okay, but I don't like mugicha at all. sweatdrop

btw, I've been told that "bancha" is the uninvited guest tea. At all Japanese restaurants where I live, they rarely serve anything else. Sometimes sencha. Heh.
