I'm not quite ready to call myself a sencha drinker just yet since I've not been into sencha very long, but I use a tablespoon(15 ml) and teaspoon(5) which I have weighed with and without tea to have an idea of how much either one contains, in grams, then take it from there when I experiment with my brews. =)
I use my cooking teaspoon measuring tool, One tsp is appox 4 grams so I use around a teaspoon and 1/2. There are beautiful tea scoops but aren't neccessary and seem less accurate than a tsp.Domn wrote:[

Just one question for sencha drinkers. Do you use wooden scoops for tea or do you use ordinary tea spoons?
How much tea scoops/spoons do you add. (i dont have electrical scale)

Actually, your ratio is failrly common I think. 0.61 ratio is in line with the lower end perhaps, but many people who like their sencha lighter, may go lower. Of course many go higher as well.Domn wrote: I will certainly put more leaves in my kyusu next time to see results.

Inches are broken down into 16ths etc. I doubt the availabilty of rulers with base 10. Seems illogical. Maybe not even permitted?Tead Off wrote:Yes, Chip. My mobile phone can do the conversion. But, have you ever seen a measuring device with tenths of an inch markings? So, I cannot figure out why a seller would use this kind of measurement when it is so much easier to simply list as cm or inches. Many tapes have both measurements and is simple and easy for anyone to do the visual conversion. This is also a good way for American measurers to learn metric.
