Japanese Sencha Asanoka True Japan Green Loose Leaf Tea in Choice of Quantities

Description: Description Cultivated in Japan, Kagoshima Light Steamed Asanoka green tea is renowned for its full bodied and distinctive flavor known as ‘unami’ which appeals particularly well to tea connoisseurs. The flavor of Kagoshima Light Steamed Asanoka green tea is easily recognisable to experienced drinkers of Japanese green tea, with its distinctively sweet tones and aroma particularly potent in this type of tea.If you’re just getting started in your exploration of Japanese green tea, the first cup Kagoshima Light Steamed Asanoka green tea might taste rather strong. However, you’ll notice that the puckering sensation, known as astringency, vanishes on the second steeping of Kagoshima Light Steamed Asanoka. You’ll then find that each additional cup is pleasantly mild while being imbued with the same hint of sweetness and distinctive warmness of Kagoshima Light Steamed Asanoka tea. Brewing Instruction: THE WATER TEMPERATUREThe golden rule about water temperature is never use boiling water on the tea, whatever kind of tea you are making.Green Teas require water at 70°C and black teas require water at 85-90°C.These days you can get kettles which enable you to choose your water temperature. THE AMOUNT OF TEACustom dictates that 4 grams are sufficient for one cup. But the amount is partly a matter of preference. In the case of Assam tea, which is naturally very robust, you might want to reduce the strength and brew 3 grams instead of 4. THE BREWING TIMEThis is a very important step in the art of tea-making. In fact, the brewing time varies depending on the type of tea. An over-brewed black tea will develop a bitter taste whilst an under-brewed white tea will be flat and insipid.Black teas are normally brewed for 2-3 minutes, green teas for 3 – 4 minutes. It is a good idea to check the brewing time before making the tea, because some teas need to be infused for very specific times: for example, Jade Pearl is left to infuse for 7 – 20 minutes, whilst Oolong tea will need 5 – 7 minutes for its bouquet to develop fully.Brewing is normally done with a lid on, so that the tea retains all its aromas.
