This fine Sencha from the April picking convinces with incomparably elegant aromas and a well-balanced, velvety-soft taste.
The Kimura Method
This organic cultivation method is named after Akinori Kimura, who originally used it to grow apples. The method aims to increase the quality of the fruit by deliberately avoiding any fertilization, thus stimulating root activity.
For the first time, this natural cultivation method was also applied to tea plants at KEIKO Biofarm. Zairai tea plants, which are grown from seed, were used for this purpose.
The harvest quantities are very small - an absolute rarity!
Preparation
For the hot infusion of Kimura Sencha, we recommend an infusion temperature of 65°C and a brewing time of about 70 seconds for the first infusion. For the second infusion, a shorter infusion time of about 30 seconds is sufficient. The last infusion can then be left to infuse a little longer (70 sec.) to bring out the full aroma.
In the cold infusion, the tea unfolds previously unknown, delicate aromas and a slight sweetness. Since the tea is only medium steamed (Chumushi), it should steep a little longer than the Fukamushi teas (7-10 minutes).
Storage
In order to preserve the valuable flavors and ingredients of the tea in the best possible way, we recommend that you close the bag tightly and store it in a cool, dark place in the refrigerator or freezer.

Green tea preparation instructions

Prepare
Prepare a cup for each person that has a capacity of 80 to 100 ml. Allow the boiled water to cool to 80° to 60°C, depending on the type. To do this, either put the water in a cooling bowl or pour it directly into the cups to cool, which will also preheat them.

Dose
Put a level teaspoon of tea per person into a clay pot. Pour one cup of water per person over the leaves. Allow the first infusion to brew for a maximum of 30 to 60 seconds.

Pour
If the tea is to be served to several people, first pour a little tea into each cup and then fill the cups in reverse order. This way, the tea will be the same strength in all cups. The pouring movements gradually give the tea the right green color. Pour out the last "golden" drops and prevent the tea from brewing any further.

Enjoy
Serve the tea fresh. In Japan, a small sweet treat is often served with unsweetened tea. For further infusions, pour water over the tea leaves again. Only allow to steep for about 15 seconds, as the leaf has already swollen and the ingredients are released more quickly. Distribute quickly all around.
