Overview
Tip: start at ~95°C, then adjust down 3–5°C if it turns sharp.
Distinctive flavour that is an acquired taste Drink this low-caffeine tea before going to bed, or on a day off when you want to relax. Sipping tea between dishes of Chinese food or similar richly-flavoured cuisine enhances the whole meal. This distinctive bancha of the Kyoto area is easy to prepare, and makes a good little gift to take when visiting family or to give to friends who live far away.
