About This Tea
What does Kamacha taste like?
This distinctive Japanese green tea offers a bright and lively cup, characterized by pleasant nutty undertones from its gentle pan-frying. Enjoy a delightful interplay of savory vegetal notes and a su. It leans nutty, vegetal and sweet.
How should I brew Kamacha?
Water around 70–80 °C (158–176 °F). In a mug, steep 2–3 min. For gongfu, use 3–5 g per 100 ml, 15–30 s steeps. You'll get to see how the flavor changes across multiple rounds. The biggest mistake with green tea is using boiling water. Keep it well below that and you won't get bitterness.
Where does Kamacha come from?
Grown in Kyushu, Japan.
How much does Kamacha cost?
Starts at $24.00 from Dobrá Tea, or about $0.48/g. A 50g package gets you around 8 gongfu sessions at ~6 g each, which works out to about $2.88 per session. Explore more green teas on Teadar.
