Premium Green Tea Bag Select Sencha Series
Tea Bags with the Authentic Flavor of Teapot-Brewed Green Tea
Filled with Select, High Quality, and Whole Tea Leaves
Generally the tea leaves used in tea bags are finely chopped so as to shorten the brewing time, extract flavor from small amounts, and increase filling efficacy. Thus, there is a tendency to not use high-quality tea leaves. These tea bags contain the same amount of tea leaves as is used with a small teapot, and their high-quality tea leaves are left whole rather than broken into tiny pieces.
Large Nylon Tea Bags with the Same Extraction Conditions as a Teapot
In order to use one cup’s worth of tea leaves just as with a teapot (3 g/100 ml), nylon tea bags have been used for their excellent extraction efficacy. Furthermore, the use of larger tea bags (14 mm) than usual allows the tea leaves to absorb water and expand during brewing, which gives them the condition to be brewed just as in a teapot.
Nitrogen Filling and Individual Packaging Preserves, Fresh-Picked Flavor
Individually packaging tea bags and using nitrogen filling preserves fresh-harvested flavor for a long time. Wherever, whenever, you can enjoy this preserved flavor.
The Secret of Enjoying The Premium Green Tea Bags
Just as with a brewing pot, you can brew these tea bags over two times. What’s more, by changing the hot water temperature and brewing time in each instance of extraction, you can enjoy a different Sencha flavor 2-3 times with the same tea bag.
An example of tasting three different types of flavors when brewing high-quality Sencha tea bag.
Tea | 1bag (3g) | |
Water | 100 ml.(1cup) | |
1st: Temperature / Infusion | 70 ℃ / 120 sec. | |
---|---|---|
2nd: Temperature / Infusion | 80 ℃ / 90 sec. | |
3rd: Temperature / Infusion | 90 ℃ / 60 sec. | |
※ The taste of green tea changes dramatically depending on the hot water’s temperature. Brewing for a shorter time at a higher temperature brings out the aroma, astringency, and bitterness. Brewing for a slightly longer time at a lower temperature brings out the umami and the sweetness. |
