Bowl and spoon brewing technique is ideal for making green tea for a few reasons:
1. Bowl-shaped teaware provides plenty of room for each tea leaf to fully open and the water cools more quickly because of the larger surface area.
2. The clay material of the bowl helps to maintain a consistent temperature, which results in the strength of each infusion being more uniform.
3. A wide mouth of the bowl helps to release the aroma of your green tea, and makes it easy to watch your leaves dance while they brew.
4. Bowl and spoon brewing is a good way to practice patience and focus.
Brew with a Bowl and Spoon:
Tea to Water Ratio: Use 4 grams of tea leaves in a 240 ml bowl (1:60 ratio).
Water Temperature: Use water at 175°F (80°C).
Steeping Time: Steep for 30 seconds to 2 minutes, depending on your taste preference.
Steps:
Heat the Water: Bring water to 212°F (100°C).
Preheat the Bowl: Fill up your bowl with 70% of hot water, swirl it around, and then discard. This helps maintain the water temperature during brewing. The heat remaining in the bowl helps release the fragrance of your green tea.
Add Tea Leaves: Place 4 grams of tea leaves into the 240 ml bowl. (The temperature of your water will go down in the meantime.)
Steep: Pour hot water at 175°F (80°C) over the wall of your tea bowl and let the tea leaves steep for 30 seconds to 2 minutes. Use a spoon to scoop the tea liquid into your teacups.
Drink and Refill: Drink from the teacups. When the water level in the bowl gets low (about 1/3 of the tea liquid in the bowl), add more water at 175°F (80°C) or slightly higher, and repeat. You can continue to refill the bowl multiple times, enjoying the evolving flavor with each infusion.
