Do that ^-^
But please keep in mind that japanese greens will change their flavor
very rapidly after opening. So if your Sencha is older than, say, 2
months, it might be better to get a new pack.

As for infusion, I'd sugest something around 2 minutes with 60-70
centigrade. To cool, and your tea will taste flat, to hot and it will
get bitter. For the following infusions, I usually give 30 seconds each.

But if you don't like the grassy taste, then japanese greens maybe are
just not your thing ^-^

ciao
