Sample sipdown!
I’m an awful horrible person when it comes to brewing Japanese greens. I look at the steeping instructions – 3 oz for 1 tsp, for 1 minute, say – and say “Eff that!”
So I took the entire little packet I had of this (I think it was a swap from Jude? Or Ost?) and put the whole thing into my 24 oz teapot, brewed for 1 minute at 70ish.
The resulting liquor was a murky pea green and tasted umami and seaweedish and grassy and even slightly creamy from the matcha.
Technically I suppose I could get a second steep out of this, but I’m happy either way to have sipped down something else from the cupboard.
