Green Tea Glossary…

Just started work on a new project - a green tea glossary. There are so many terms, I’ve got a long way to go. If you would like to contribute or know the meaning of a certain green tea term, let me know here.

2007 Shincha Status, Part II

Posted in Green Tea in General, Brewing Green Tea, New Products at 7:15 pm by site admin

We shipped Shizoka Shincha “Hatsumi” today, whew! If you are in our green tea of the month club, this month’s green tea is the Hatsumi and it will be shipped tomorrow. Make sure not to brew this too hot or for too long. You will want to steep it for only about 1.5 minutes as it’s really bold.

Having just tried this, I notice this year’s Hatsumi is a bolder, greener color than in past years, it’s got a really beautiful shade of green to it. Not very grassy if that’s what you like. It’s a bit on the cloudy side which is to be expected as this green tea is about halfway between deep and regular steamed. You’ll like this!
