Did you know that sencha can be enjoyed three times?

Japanese green tea, especially sencha, reveals all its richness when brewed with care.
And the surprise: with the same leaves, you can enjoy it up to three times!
Each infusion reveals a different side of the tea.

What you need

  • Sencha loose leaf or tea bag
  • A teapot (preferably ceramic, but a small classic teapot also works)
  • Teacups
  • A kettle (ideally with temperature control)

Tip: soft water (such as Volvic or Mont Roucous) is ideal for Japanese tea. Water that is too hard makes the taste more bitter and masks the subtlety of the sencha.

Preparing SENCHA

  • 1

    Bring the water to a boil, then let it cool slightly until it reaches the ideal temperature.

  • 2

    Put about 4g of tea leaves into the teapot and pour in 200ml of hot water.

  • 3

    Let steep according to the type of tea, generally around 50 seconds.

  • 4

    Serve in a cup and enjoy.

Three infusions, three experiences

Did you know that sencha can be enjoyed up to three times using the same leaves?
Each infusion (issen-me/first infusion・nisen-me/second infusion・sansen-me/third infusion) reveals a different taste and aroma, like a three-stage journey.


📷Our fukamushi sencha (deep-steamed green tea), infused three times.

  • First infusion – richness and sweetness

    Water at 70–75°C, approximately 1 minute of infusion.


    Taste: a creamy and deep cup, dominated by umami (the mellow and round flavor typical of Japanese tea).

    Aroma: delicate vegetal notes, reminiscent of fresh grass and seaweed, which coat the palate with elegance.

  • Second infusion – freshness and balance

    Water slightly hotter (+5°C), quick steep (30 seconds).

    Taste: livelier, lighter. The sweetness gives way to a hint of delicate bitterness that perfectly balances the cup.

    Aroma: the scent becomes clearer, with fresh, slightly floral green notes, like a spring breeze.

    👉 With one tea bag, two infusions are ideal and already very pleasant.

  • Third infusion – lightness and clarity

    Hot water, even simmering, very short infusion.

    Taste: a clear and thirst-quenching liquor, almost crystalline, ideal for accompanying the end of a meal or a moment of relaxation.

    Aroma: the notes are subtle, leaving an impression of purity and freshness, like water scented with tea.

Discover our sencha

Our sencha comes exclusively from Japanese organic teas.
The selection is managed by Natsu, the Japanese founder of TAMAKI TEA, but the final choice is validated after tasting sessions organized with French tea enthusiasts.
Why? Because Japanese and French palates do not perceive flavors in the same way.
Studies show in particular that the French are more sensitive to bitterness than the Japanese.
That is why we offer a sencha designed for you: even if you think you don't like green tea because it is "too bitter," we invite you to try ours.
