Brewing Sencha in My Favorite Thrifted Teapot (Rebrew Friendly!)

You don’t need fancy tools to create peaceful, delicious tea moments.

Today I’m steeping a delicate teaspoon of classic loose leaf Sencha at 160°F for 60 seconds — the result? A smooth, umami-rich cup of Japanese green tea perfection.

Even better, I’m using my beloved cast iron teapot I scored at Goodwill — proof that affordable finds can elevate your tea ritual beautifully.

Simple steps for a perfect Sencha brew:

1️⃣ Add 1 tsp of Sencha to your teapot.

2️⃣ Pour 160°F water (use my 1/4 method if needed!).

3️⃣ Steep for 60 seconds.

4️⃣ Pour, sip, and enjoy every smooth, umami-filled moment. 

5️⃣ Rebrew those leaves at least 3-4 times — each steep brings out new, evolving flavors.
