Overview
Tip: start at ~95°C, then adjust down 3–5°C if it turns sharp.
Pairing: sushi, steamed vegetables, or citrusy salads
Magnificent fragrance and mellow umami flavour. A taste and fragrance that bring back long-forgotten memories. When talking about memories while looking over photos and letters from long ago. Slightly salty crackers and other assorted dry snacks. Make multiple teapots reusing the same tea leaves, preparing each pot with water cool enough to touch. When there is nothing left but the tea’s colour, pour on boiling water and enjoy one final, refreshing pot.
