“This might sound crazy, but I always kind of forget about Japanese green teas. It’s not that I dislike them or anything, I just don’t drink them as often as I probably should. When I’m in the mood...” Read full tasting note

Description

About this Tea
Thin needle-like leaves produce a tea of highly vegetal taste and aroma with brothy nuances of roasted rice. Harvested in the spring and early summer in the Saga Prefecture near Ureshino, the leaves are steamed to prevent oxidization of the leaf and preserve its vibrant green color and fresh flavor.

Ingredients
Full leaf Japanese green tea from the Mt. Fuji region.

Preparation
For best flavor, bring freshly drawn filtered water to 190 degrees. Steep three minutes. Contemplate multiple views of Mt. Fuji.
