PREORDER available in late May 🍵 #0323.S2 Hiraoka Tea Garden: Shincha - Premium Grade Sencha "Murasaki" - Single Cultivar Yabukita 特上煎茶「紫」 by Hiraoka Tea Garden | Teatico
A high quality spring sencha, regular steaming, from the region north of Tokyo - Sayama. Cultivated by Hiraoka Tadahito, and harvested while the leaf is still young and tender for a delicate, sweet tea. Note that the package may change from year to year, and if we procure the package outside the shincha season (generally May - July), Hiraoka-san will use his standard packaging. Steeping Notes Tea: 5 grams Time: 60 seconds Water: 70C/160F, 200 ml Use hotter temperature for more astringency, cooler temperature for more sweetness. Also take a look at our steeping techniques section for info on cold steeping and ice steeping, etc. Product Info Ingredients: Green Tea Cultivar: Yabukita only Shaded for a few days for extra umami flavor Harvest: Spring Region: Sayama, Saitama Producer Info Name: Hiraoka Tea Garden CEO: Tadahito Hiraoka Location: Sayama, Saitama Established: During the Edo Period (1600 - 1868, exact date unknown)
