2 packs of Tamaryokucha Kabusecha Blended.

Tamaryokucha this year increases sweetness with darker green color.

Blended with Kabusecha whose leaves were grown with shaded cultivation. Some tea trees in tea fields were shaded for a short period before the harvest. Those leaves preserve amino-acids and increase chlorophyll. Try this year’s Tamaryokucha and enjoy the rich umami taste with deep green color.

Farmer’s Recommended way to brew for 1 cup:

-Infusion time: 1 – 1.5 min.

Brewing step:
1. Use soft water
2. Boil water for 5 min. to take out air and chlorine
3. Adjust water temperature (transfer the water from one tea ware to another (ex. teapot to cup) is quick way to cool down water temperature. For this tea, transfer twice.)
4. Put 1.5 heaping teaspoon leaves into teapot
5. Pour the adjusted temperature water into teapot (little more than half cup water for 1 person) and put lid on teapot
6. Wait 1 – 1.5 min.
7. Pour the liquid from teapot into cup to the last drop

For 2nd brew, use hot water and take less than 30 sec. to brew.
