Brewing Tip

This tea works well with the standard sencha brewing method at 75–80°C (167°F).
It offers a rich aroma even with a short infusion time of 30–45 seconds.
The leaves retain their flavor through the third steep.

For the best results, keep the first brew light (short) to achieve three ideal infusions.
