This tea is a "pure tea," meaning all the tea leaves were plucked from one cultivated varietal, the Tsuyuhikari hybrid. In other words, it is not blended. Tsuyuhikari, meaning 'shining dew' has a sweet taste and mouthwatering salty aromas of pelagic scents, seaweed, and summer maritime shores.

Ingredients

Hand-plucked young buds of single provenance from the cultivar of the same name, grown by Konishi-san, a small tea farmer in Shizuoka, Japan.


Brewing Instructions

8 oz cup

  1. Scoop a level teaspoon of tea into infuser.
  2. Heat water to 175° F.
  3. Pour 8 oz. of water over tea leaves.
  4. Steep tea for 2-3 minutes (depending on taste preference).
  5. Remove infuser and enjoy tea. Can be steeped multiple times.

Potful

Simply add to your infuser one level teaspoon of leaf per 8 oz. of water and place it in your pot, then add the appropriate amount of 175° F water and let it steep for 2 to 3 minutes. Remove the infuser and enjoy. Can be steeped multiple times.

Brewing Iced Tea

As with some of our other extremely fine loose-leaf teas, we do not recommend drinking Tsuyuhikari over ice.
