| Japanese green tea, sencha, is brewed at 175°F to extract the maximum flavor. Brewing at the wrong temperature may make your tea become bitter. Getting the right temperature is easy with a Zojirushi water boiler. Just set the boiler at 175°F and enjoy this delicious cup of green tea in just minutes. | |
