SENCHA ZAIRAI ORGANIC CERTIFIED 2024
Sencha produced in Kirishima in southern Japan in April 2024. It is a classic 1st harvest sencha, fresh and vegetal which will be very suitable for an everyday tea, balanced between vegetal and bitter, very pleasant to drink, but without great pretensions.
The cultivar: Zairai. Zairai means that it is a tea from the harvest of tea plants born from seeds. Thus, it is impossible to define what their origin is because they are the descendants of 2 individuals, and each tea plant can be from different parents.
Brewing advice: This is a high-end tea and we strongly advise to respect the basic dosages as well as to use quality water to brew this tea.
A quality water will be a very weakly mineralized water. Check the dry residue on the label of the water you wish to use, a value between 20 and 100mg / L will be suitable. That said, this is not an infallible rule, some waters at 130mg / L work well (Volvic) while others below 100mg / L have less good results. A fairly famous and cheap water is the source of the Grand Barbier that you will find at Carrefour.
Brew small quantities of tea in a small container. The ideal would be a teapot between 20 and 30cl maximum. Place 5 to 8g of leaves for 1 minute of infusion with water at 70 degrees.
