"If man has no tea in him, he is incapable of understanding truth and beauty." – Japanese Proverb
A lightly steam Japanese green that yield a gorgeous crisp liquor. Less grassy than traditional sencha and so utterly incredible. Now part our of permanent collection!
HOW TO MAKE GREEN TEA
In general, green teas should be brewed anywhere between 1 - 3 minutes. The longer you allow green tea to steep, the more bitter it may become. So keep an eye on your timer.
Water: Fresh filtered water is preferred. Do not use distilled water. Depending on your area, tap water may contain chemicals or high levels of minerals which may affect the taste of the tea.
Temperature: Water temperature is just as important as timing. Green teas like to be around 170-180˚F. If you use boiling water, allow it to cool off for a few minutes to bring the temp down before pouring over loose tea leaves.
*Gyukuro Japanese Green Tea: Water temperature should be at 140˚F.
Time: In general, green teas seem to taste best brewed for 1-3 minutes. That said, you may prefer your tea lighter and/or stronger. Play around with the times to see what tastes best to you!
