Wakoen Tea Farm: Kagoshima Fukamushicha - Takumi (Premium Grade) 和香...
Rainforest Alliance certified, family-owned tea farm, Wakoen Co., Ltd., presents their top level, deep steamed fukamushicha green tea, Takumi - meaning "master craftsman".
This tea is shaded for 7-10 days to increase its umami flavor and reduce bitterness, and is then deep-steamed (steamed for a longer than usual amount of time), which creates a very soft leaf, broken into fragments during rolling. This creates a deep, richly flavored and beautifully opaque green tea.
There are four teas in the series: Miyabi, Takumi, Kaori, and You.
Steeping Notes
- Tea: 5 grams
- Time: 30-60 sec
- Water Temperature: 70C/160F degrees
- Water Amount: 200 ml
- Resteep up to 3 times. The second resteeping can be quick, water in and out as the leaves are already primed. Using hotter water may also extract stronger flavor in subsequent steeps.
- Use cooler water for sweeter flavors, hotter water for more bitter flavors
- Use more tea leaves, less water, or longer time for greater strength of flavor.
- Cold steeping also recommend
