Location of origin
Kagoshima, Japan
Infusion method
Place 4 grams of tea leaves (about three teaspoons) in a Japanese Kyusu-type teapot or, in its absence in a teapot possibly with a wide, flat bottom.
Pour 250 ml water at a temperature of 70°C over the leaves, and after a minute and a half you can start pouring the infusion into cups. To make the most of the leaves and continue the taste experience with this tea we also recommend making three more infusions of the same leaves with the same quantity and temperature parameters but lengthening the infusion time by 5-10 seconds.
The tea can be filtered for easier tasting time and also the infusion times here above are meant to be purely indicative so one can also adjust according to one's personal taste.
Since we are talking about a Japanese green tea we remind you that it is also possible to make a delicious infusion in cold water before proceeding with hot water. For the latter we recommend, with the same grams of leaves per amount of water an infusion time of about 10 minutes.
We recommend storing in a cool, dry place away from direct sunlight.
