Product Description:
The annual tea harvest in Japan begins 88 days after Risshun, the start of spring on the traditional Japanese calendar. Drinking tea picked on this day has always been considered auspicious and believed to bring good health throughout the year. Often reserved for family and friends, this tea has naturally limited availability. Charaku Fine Japanese Tea is pleased to offer Hachijyuhachiya Sencha this year! This asamushi (light-steamed) sencha from Kobayashi in eastern Miyazaki is smooth with low astringency. We hope it brings you health and good fortune this year!Temperature: 165° F
Amount: 3 grams
Steeping Time: 45 seconds-2 minutes
The aroma of the dry leaves is light, sweet, and savory with nutty and light marine notes.
The pale green infusion has a lightly savory and nutty aroma while the taste is savory with notes of nuts, edamame, and spinach followed by a sweet finish.
For the purpose of this review, I followed the brewing instructions, steeping the tea in 165° F water for 2 minutes, then 1 minute, then 45 seconds. This sencha was smooth, light, and refreshing throughout three infusions.
I look forward to shincha season every year and particularly enjoy comparing previous years' harvests of this particular tea to the current batch. It always evokes feelings of springtime with each sip.
This tea was purchased by me.
