ASIA GAP– and Organic JAS–certified teas grown without pesticides, chemical fertilizers, or herbicides.
Made from early-season young buds for bright aroma, clean flavor, and natural sweetness.
Three weeks of shaded cultivation create deep umami, smooth sweetness, and the signature “covered aroma” (ooika).
Nakai Tea Farm cultivates and produces green tea in Wazuka, Kyoto Prefecture.
How to Use
1,Prepare teacups for the number of people you are serving.
2,Pour freshly boiled water into each teacup.
3,Put tea leaves into a teapot. Use about 3-4 grams (roughly 2 teaspoons) of leaves per person. It's best to use a slightly generous amount of tea leaves.
4,When the teacups feel warm to the touch, pour the water from the cups into the teapot—enough for everyone. The ideal water temperature is 60°C (158°F), and the steeping time is about 1 minutes 30 seconds. Using slightly cooled water helps reduce bitterness and brings out a better flavor.
5,Once the tea leaves have opened about 60%, close the lid of the teapot. When pouring, distribute the tea evenly between all cups, making sure to pour out every last drop.
