Overview
Tip: start at ~95°C, then adjust down 3–5°C if it turns sharp.
This tea reminds us of drinking tea at the movies, with a cup in one hand and popcorn in the other. Roasted and popped rice in a very well balanced sencha. This is a delicious tea that is very easy to enjoy and hard to over-steep. ------------------------- Harvest: May 2023 Cultivar: Yabukita Producer: Osada Natsumi Origin: Harunocho, Isagawa, Shizuoka, Japan GPS: 34°58' N " 137°57'E Popped Rice Origin: 50% Kagoshima, 50% Miyazaki Producer: Osada Natsumi On top of being a talented tea grower, Osada San has one of the most educated noses we have ever encountered.
