About This Tea
What does Gokasho Organic Saemidori Matcha taste like?
This organic Saemidori matcha offers a remarkably balanced and soft profile, brimming with a gentle sweetness and an almost endless umami. Expect nuanced notes of watercress, dashi, and a subtle nutty. It leans umami, vegetal and nutty.
How should I brew Gokasho Organic Saemidori Matcha?
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.
