Chaho Kanekichi-en/金吉園

Origin: Japan
Product Description: Not provided.
Temperature: 175° F
Amount: 3 grams
Steeping Time: 2 minutes
The dry leaves have an aroma of cocoa, wood, grass, and nuts.
The bright green infusion has a nutty, buttery, warm edamame (soybean) aroma. The taste is smooth, nutty, and savory with a hint of green and edamame (soybean) and the barest hint of astringency.
A second infusion provided equally good results after steeping for one minute. Much of the flavors from the first infusion were still present with a slight increase in grassy green flavor, mild astringency, and a long green finish. The matcha was mostly washed away after a second infusion, so a third infusion was considerably weaker. The first two cups provide more than enough flavorful and aromatic results.
This tea is only available in-store in Japan.
