Tasting notes
Overview
The komakage cultivar was originally developed to make gyokuro. However, when made into a sencha, it evolves into tea with a refreshing green color that is well-rounded with a delicate sweetness. Perfect to enjoy with traditional Japanese desserts. Additionally, the Yoshino Tea Garden cultivated this komakage cultivar on a trial basis by their tea fields a long time ago and due to its' resilience to the cold, it has been a recommended variety in the Sayama/Saitama Prefecture region. Steeping Notes Tea: 5 grams. Time: 60 sec. Water: 70C/175F, 200 ml. Steep immediately upon second steep, and 30-60 seconds for the third steep.
