Overview
Best pick • solid other choice from Unknown origin
Tip: start at ~95°C, then adjust down 3–5°C if it turns sharp.
Mild umami flavour and pleasant taste. A taste and fragrance that bring back memories of the beach, with the sound of distant, crashing waves. As an appetizer before a delicious dish, or together with a meal. Oysters, or shellfish with the wonderful smell of the sea. Prepare the first and second pots using the same tea leaves with water at about 60°C, and savour it slowly. Use water at about 80°C for the third and subsequent pots. When you’re done enjoying the tea served hot, pour boiling water on the tea leaves, and then pour the tea over ice to cool it down quickly.
