Organic Roasted Green Tea Kirishima Houjicha comes from Kirishima, in Kyushu, in the far south of Japan: it is a well-roasted organic green tea characterized by intense nutty notes. The base of Kirishima Houjicha is a good Sencha tea roasted at high temperatures: this process sweetens the tea's flavor and enhances the notes of roasted nuts. It is a pleasant tea to enjoy at various times of day and is also excellent for cold brewing on a hot summer day. Tasting - Appearance and aroma Organic green tea Kirishima Houjicha has whole leaves folded over themselves and flattened, with some stems. The color is a warm chestnut-mahogany with reddish highlights, and the roasted aroma of the dry leaves is already intense and intoxicating before infusion. Once infused, the leaves release aromas of nuts, such as roasted and caramelized almonds and hazelnuts, coffee notes, a light hint of charcoal, and a sweet-savory vegetal aroma faintly reminiscent of nori seaweed. In the cup, the liquor is fairly clear and bright, dark orange-gold with amber highlights. Tasting notes Organic green tea Kirishima Houjicha has an extremely gentle flavor: sweet notes of almond brittle and roasted hazelnuts at the opening, evolving into hints of latte and mild accents of burnt wood. A buttery and sweet note also emerges, reminiscent of peanut butter and condensed milk. The finish is characterized by the sweetness of toasted white bread, while the nutty notes and a vaguely buttery sensation remain on the tongue. This tea has good body and is exceptionally soft and enveloping on the palate, with no bitterness or astringency. Place of origin Kyushu, Japan Production Organic green tea Kirishima Houjicha is produced according to the classic Japanese style: the freshly picked leaves are allowed to wither briefly and then exposed to very hot steam for between one and one and a half minutes, causing the so-called “killing of the green,” which deactivates the enzymes that would cause the leaf to oxidize and allows greater development of vegetal flavors in the product. After this important stage, the leaves are rolled to enhance their flavors and dried using jets of hot air, ready for use. Infusion method Place 2 grams of leaves (about two teaspoons) in a Japanese teapot of the Kyusu type or, if unavailable, in a teapot preferably with a wide, flat base. Pour 200 ml of water at 75°C over the leaves and after 2–3 minutes begin pouring the infusion into the cups. To make the most of the leaves and continue the tasting experience with this tea, we also recommend making three further infusions with the same leaves using the same quantity and temperature parameters, extending the infusion time by 5–10 seconds. The tea may be strained for greater ease when tasting, and the infusion times indicated above are purely suggestions, so they can also be adjusted according to personal taste. Since this is a Japanese green tea, remember that it is also possible to make a delicious cold-water infusion before proceeding with hot water. For the latter, using the same grams of leaves per quantity of water, we recommend an infusion time of approximately 10 minutes. Store organic green tea Kirishima Houjicha in a cool, dry place away from direct sunlight.
