How to use the White Shigaraki Set
Preparing tea with the White Shigaraki Set is easy—just follow four basic steps. Begin by heating up the water, then add the leaves to the teapot, pour the water in, and finally, let the tea brew before pouring it out.
Step 1
Heat the water to your desired temperature using an electric kettle. Each type of tea needs a slightly different temperature, and you can find this information on our website.
Step 2
Place 5 grams of tea leaves into the teapot of the white shigaraki set. Before adding the leaves, you can preheat the teapot by pouring in some hot water, waiting for 30 seconds, and then pouring it out.
Step 3
Once you've placed the tea leaves in the white shigaraki set, you can gently pour in 150ml of water.
Step 4
Put the lid onto the white shigaraki set teapot and let the leaves brew for 1-2 minutes, depending on the type of tea. After the tea is done brewing, you can pour it out into the glasses of the white shigaraki set using the alternate pouring method.
Step 5
Once you've steeped the leaves once, you can still use them for 2-3 more brews. Keep the same water temperature, the same amount of water, but steep for only 20 seconds in each subsequent brewing.
Step 6
You can also use your white Shigaraki set to cold brew green tea. Simply add 5 grams of leaves to the teapot, fill it with cool or room temperature water, and let it brew for 1-3 hours. After the designated time, pour it out and relish your refreshing cold brew green tea!
