Organic Roasted Green Tea Kirishima Houjicha comes from Kirishima in Kyushu, the region 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 roasted Sencha tea roasted at high temperatures: this process sweetens the tea's taste and enhances the notes of roasted nuts. It is pleasant to enjoy at different times of the day and also excellent for cold infusion on a hot summer day. Tasting - Appearance and aroma Organic Kirishima Houjicha green tea 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 Kirishima Houjicha green tea has an extremely gentle taste: sweet notes of almond brittle and roasted hazelnuts at the opening evolve into hints of milky coffee and slight traces of burnt wood. A buttery, sweet note also emerges, reminiscent of peanut butter and condensed milk. The finish is marked by the sweetness of toasted white bread, while 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, without any bitterness or astringency. Place of origin: Kyushu, Japan Production Organic Kirishima Houjicha green tea is produced according to the classic Japanese style: freshly harvested leaves are allowed to wither briefly and then treated with very hot steam for between one and one and a half minutes, causing the so-called 'fixing of the green' to take place. This 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 hot-air jets, ready for use. Infusion method Place 2 grams of leaves, approximately two teaspoons, in a Japanese Kyusu teapot 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, we also recommend making three more infusions of the same leaves using the same quantity and temperature parameters, extending the infusion time by 5-10 seconds. The tea may be strained for easier tasting, and the infusion times indicated above are purely approximate, so they may also be adjusted according to personal taste. Since this is a Japanese green tea, 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 Kirishima Houjicha green tea in a cool, dry place away from direct sunlight.
