Sencha Okumidori Asamushi - 50g

Sencha Okumidori Asamushi - 50g

.

Asamushi sencha from the Okumidori cultivar, one of the most popular cultivars in the range. The harvest took place on 15/05/2024 and the tea was shielded for 11 days and medium roasted.

Asamushi means light steamed sencha. This method is used for high quality teas and the raw leaves, called Namaha, are steamed for a short period of 30 to 40s.

These teas are characterised by a lighter infusion and the flavour of the cultivar, its specific aroma, can be highlighted.

A beautifully crafted leaf and a very fresh aroma with a nutty trace.

The infusion is more of a lighter greenish colour, but the taste has fresh tones, slightly roasted almonds and a light umami with a clean aftertaste. Again, a hilarious affair from the Okumidori cultivar.

Brewing 100ml:
First infusion - 70C, 4-5g, 70-90s.
Second infusion - same temperature 25s
Subsequent infusions increase the water temperature and increase the leaching time. 
 
It should be noted that it is advisable to experiment with teas and discover their beauty!
