Sipdown
Somehow I missed reviewing this tea until the day of sipdown?
This was a gift from Superanna and was purchased in Kyoto during her January trip to Japan. The steeping parameters on the package say to use a tablespoon of tea to just over an ounce of 160F-ish water and steep for two minutes.
We usually make it by the pot so I don’t use as much as the instructions call for. We get a marvelously fresh tasting green tea with lots of body. Today I even accidentally left it to steep too long because I was multitasking yet it was not at all bitter or sour. There is a brothy look to the tea from the particulates and it makes for a very satisfying cup or five.
Those are some bizarre steep instructions… it seems like the leaves would overflow out of the cup!
