About This Tea
What does Sonogi Kukicha taste like?
This Kukicha offers a uniquely refreshing cup with a delicate balance of sweet, grassy notes and a hint of umami. Expect a light body with a smooth, clean finish, showcasing the subtle character of Ja. It leans fresh, sweet and vegetal.
How should I brew Sonogi Kukicha?
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.
