This tea is from "Ujitawara," a premier production area and the birthplace of green tea.It is characterized by its rich flavor, color, and aroma. You can enjoy its taste even from the second infusion onwards.
About Mecha (Bud Tea):Mecha refers to the smallest parts of new buds that curl into small granules during the tea-making process. These small granules are packed with the mellow umami of high-grade gyokuro. As the curled buds gradually unfurl in hot water, the umami is preserved until the second infusion and beyond, as the tea leaves continue to open. This tea has a high flavor persistence, making it a very economical tea that can be brewed multiple times.
How to Brew (for 3 servings):Pour hot water at 60-70°C into a teapot, then pour it into teacups to cool to 40-60°C. Add 2 heaping tablespoons (10g) of tea leaves to the teapot.Pour the hot water from the teacups into the teapot and observe the movement of the tea leaves without closing the lid.It is ready to serve in 1-2 minutes, when it turns a light green color.Pour the tea into the cups, rotating the teapot to ensure an even concentration.*For the second infusion, increase the water temperature and shorten the steeping time.*The third infusion can also be enjoyed deliciously.
