I want to enjoy flavors other than sencha! I think there are people who say that.

Here, we will explain the characteristics of each tea, so please refer to it when choosing.

▼ Characteristics of tea
Let's take a look at the taste and aroma of the three types of tea.

■ Sencha
Sencha is a tea that accounts for about 80% of Japanese tea production.
Many people think of green tea as sencha.

Since such sencha contains a lot of catechin, it is characterized by having moderate astringency and umami.
You can enjoy a refreshing aroma and a refreshing taste.
The point is to use hot water when adding.

■ Gyokuro
Gyokuro has a period when it is not exposed to sunlight when growing tea leaves, so the amount of catechin, which is an astringent ingredient, is less than that of sencha.
There is a lot of theanine, which is the umami, and you can enjoy the deep richness and sweetness.

To add gyokuro deliciously, it's a good idea to slowly bring out the umami with lukewarm water.
Please enjoy the unique scent of covering scent.

■ Goose sound
Goose sound is a collection of stems that are produced when making sencha or gyokuro.
It has a lighter taste and aroma than leaf tea.

The temperature at which it is added depends on whether it is gyokuro or sencha.
In the case of Gyokuro Goose sound, the standard temperature is around 60 ° C, and in the case of Sencha Goose sound, the temperature is around 80 ° C.
