$15.00
Description:
Among the extensive range of teas provided by Ippodo, we've chosen a handful from their highly acclaimed selections to share with our devoted community of tea enthusiasts.
Nichigetsu Sencha: Grown on hills with stark temperature differences, Nichigetsu Sencha is a medium-bodied tea for those who prefer a little more astringency/sharpness than sweetness.
Preparation: Brew 10g of Nichigetsu Sencha in 7oz of 176°F water for 60 seconds.
Hosen Sencha: As an ideal introductory tea to Ippodo’s Sencha lineup, Hosen is a premium loose leaf green tea with a balanced flavor profile. Great for green tea lovers who desire equal amounts of umami, sweetness, aroma and astringency.
Preparation: Brew 10g of Hosen Sencha in 7oz of 176°F water for 60 seconds.
Rimpo Gyokuro: A hearty and sweeter green tea than Sencha, Gyokuro tea is cultivated in shade to bring out more flavor complexity and depth. Rimpo is a medium-bodied Gyokuro tea with a dew-like aroma, low astringency, and more caffeine per volume than a standard cup of coffee.
Preparation: Brew 10g of Rimpo Gyokuro in 3oz of 140°F water for 90 seconds.
Gokujo Genmaicha: Loose leaf tea consisting of Yanagi (large plain green tea leaves) blended with toasted rice. The rice varies from lightly toasted to deeply toasted, resulting in an earthy, savory tasting tea with a popcorn-like aroma.
Preparation: Brew 10g of Gokujo Genmaicha in 8oz of 212°F water for 30 seconds.
Mugicha Barley Tea: Made of slow roasted barley (mugi) grains, this tea is caffeine-free and often enjoyed cold. A malty yet refreshing tea for warmer summer days, frequently paired with meals.
Preparation(Hot): Brew desired amount of Mugicha in teapot with 1L of 212°F water for 10 minutes.
Preparation(Cold): Place desired amount of Mugicha into a pitcher and let steep in cold water for 60 minutes.
Gokujo Hojicha: Loose leaf tea made of roasted green tea leaves and stems, resulting in a unique amber color after brewing. Recommended for people who want less caffeine and like the taste of black tea.
