Hishikui Ryokucha, Organic Japanese Green Tea
HKR
HISHIKUI RYOKUCHA ヒシクイ 緑茶 is a loose-leaf organic green tea cultivated in Japan. This tea is grown by the Hayashi family, not far from the Pacific coast of Japan in Mie Prefecture. The family picks its special springtime Bancha about two weeks after the first harvest. The leaves are air-dried overnight and are steamed, rolled and dried the following day.
The tea has a typically strong Bancha taste but with fresh, floral notes. It is low in caffeine but has a high antioxidant content and is thought to offer a number of health benefits.
Use 1 teaspoon tea per 0.2 litres hot water (75-85°C), brew for 80 seconds. The still-warm leaves can be infused again, giving up to 5 infusions of 20 seconds each.
