- Cultivars: Saemidori (single cultivar)
- Harvest: First harvest only (Spring 2025)
- Altitude: 100-200 m
- Origin: Soo, Kagoshima, Japan
- Notes: fresh, sweet, rich, smooth, marine, briney, umami
First infusion:
- 4 g tea
- 100 mLs water at 70-75°C for 55-60 seconds
Second infusion:
- 100 mLs water at around 80°C for 45-50 seconds
Cold Brew
- After 3-4 infusions, use 100 mLs water at any temperature and let it steep in the fridge overnight. Thank me later
The slightly higher temperature in the second infusion deliberately introduces some bitterness and astringency to balance out the sweetness and umami. This also brings out a subtle sweet and toasty aroma which enhances the depth and allows for a more structured long-lasting finish
Nitrogen-gas flushed for guaranteed freshness for at least a year from processing date if kept unopened and refrigerated
