Kagoshima Sencha
$30.00 USD
A first harvest sencha, grassy and sweet with almost no bitterness if you keep the water off the boil. This is the tea that wins over people who think they don't like green tea. The whole trick is temperature — boiling water ruins it in about ten seconds.
- First harvest — sweet, not bitter
- Water at 70°C, never boiling, or it's ruined
- Three infusions from the same leaves

The tea
First harvest sencha from Kagoshima, steamed in the standard style rather than deep-steamed, so the leaves stay needle-shaped and the liquor stays clear instead of cloudy.
Brewing
5g, 70°C water, sixty seconds for the first infusion. Boiling water will make it bitter and there's no fixing it. The same leaves give a second and third infusion, each a little shorter than the last.
