Our Drink for this episode is Sencha Tea, the most popular of Japanese green teas. 

Tea is a very personal thing but here's a suggested method of preparation. 

-Add 1tsp of tea to your teapot for each cup of tea you will make. 

-Add near-boiling water to each cup and let it cool for 2 minutes then pour the cooled water into the pot. 

-Let the leaves steep for 1-2 minutes then serve.
