During the finishing process, tea leaves are sorted by size for optimal finishing. The leaves that bring out the tea color are gently dried, while those that bring out the aroma are dried at a higher temperature. This results in an enjoyable fresh aroma in every cup.
“Goku-Mushi” Blend Extreme Steaming Process:
This product blends tea processed by ITO EN’s original steaming method. Steaming the tea for 4-5 times longer than standard green tea allows easy steeping for rich flavor and deep color.
Optimal temperature is 95°C/203°F. Use 2 tsp of tea leaves per 150-200ml/5-7 oz. water (use more tea if preferred). Steep for about 20 seconds. For the second steeping, shorten the steeping time.
