Product Description:
Just across the prefectural border from Toyama where a post-fermented tea also called batabatacha is made, the town of Itoigawa in Niigata also has a folk tea that you whisk (batabata is an onomatopoeic word that means to whisk vigorously). The ingredients are completely different but makes for a complex tea with hojicha as its base.Temperature: 175° F
Amount: 3 grams
Steeping Time: 1-2 minutes
The dry leaf blend contains kawara ketsumei (Chamaecrista nomame), hojicha, roasted soybeans, and camellia sinensis flowers.
The amber infusion has notes of roasted peanuts and popcorn. The taste has notes of roasted nut shells and nuts with a long roasty finish.
This blend smelled and tasted divine from dry leaf to infusion, reminding me of some of my favorite roasted snacks. While the color of the liquor lightened by the third infusion, it remained flavorful throughout multiple steepings.
This tea was purchased by me.
