TENCHA KIWAMI 50g

Product detailed description

Tencha is a precursor to matcha - flakes from which matcha is ground. Typically, Tencha can hardly be found outside of wholesale in Japan, but our long-standing friendship with Master Sakamoto has enabled us to bring this specialty to you.

The taste of Tencha is completely different from other Japanese teas and is at the same time delicious and refreshing. The tea is resilient to almost any preparation, both hot and cold brew. A limited specialty in our selection.

Traditionally we use 7g of tea per 30-50ml of water.

1. Infusion: Pour in water at 40°C After two minutes of steeping, drain off every last drop.
2. Pour the infusion with water of the same temperature and pour off immediately.
3. and the next infusion (+-7) pour gradually warmer water and extend the time of leaching until you are among the immortals.

We recommend using soft filtered water, Nartes from Jeseníky works very well from bottled ones.

Packaged directly in Japan in original 50g resealable packaging to maintain maximum quality.
