Hello, I'm a tea chef. I'd like to introduce you to a delicious tea.
ほうじ tea is a Japanese tea with a distinctive green tea flavor and a perfumed aroma.

Secondly, the amount of water. Thirdly, the temperature of water.
Fourth, time to wait. Fifth, you'll be in it till the last drop.
Just by following these five points, you can make delicious tea for everyone.
What I have for you this time is tea leaves and hot water.
I'll have a quick and a few drinks this time. 120 milliliters.
I'll use only 湯.
You'll be able to divide a cup of tea into two.
The amount of tea leaves per person is 3 grams, so if you use this teaspoon, one cup is about 3 grams.
This time I'll put two cups in it. Next.
I'm going to put the hot water in urgently.
Because using hot water will extract enough of the tea's fragrant aroma.
You can inject it directly, but only with the water once you inject it.
It's convenient to use it with the same amount.
If you need to take a bath, cover it.
Wait a minute. The leaves in the urgency are a little open.
I'll be back in a minute with some tea.
When pouring tea, make sure the tea is evenly distributed.
I'll bet a few times and then
Please pour to the last drop. This last drop condenses the deliciousness of tea.
Everyone can enjoy this delicious tea in this way.
