About This Tea
What does Oohashiri Shincha taste like?
This 'first sprint' Shincha unfurls a burst of springtime freshness. Expect a vibrant, grassy aroma with a rich umami depth, leading to a smooth, sweet liquor that lingers pleasantly on the palate. It leans fresh, grassy and umami.
How should I brew Oohashiri Shincha?
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.
