This type of tea (deep-steamed) is my absolute favorite. I am a bit biased having lived among the tea fields in Kakegawa for a few years and grown a strong affinity for it.
It is a little more bitter than more popular varieties and so pairs well with a sweet.
I like to brew at 195F for around 5 seconds and can get two or three large cups from a single 1.5 tsp scoop of tea.

A very pleasant tea to brew. The tea has mix notes of vegetable and grass. No bitterness if brewed properly. I dont recommend to brew the leaves more than once since there is this weird taste that develops that is not pleasant at all. That being said, I had to refine my brewing technique with this tea because its not so forgiving. Once you master it, you will get a very pleasant tea. I will definitely buy this one again.

This is a great tea. Fantastic colour and flavour, and reliable. some of the other teas can be good one pouch, less good the next.
