Place of origin

Kagoshima, Japan

Brewing 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 on 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 another three infusions of the same leaves with the same quantity and temperature parameters but extending the infusion time by 5-10 seconds.

The tea can be filtered for greater ease at the moment of tasting, and also the infusion times indicated above are intended to be purely indicative, so you can also adjust according to your personal taste.

As we are talking about a Japanese green tea, 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.

Store in a cool, dry place away from direct sunlight.
