How to brew the perfect cup:
4 g (1 tsp)
80 ml water60°C
Steep for 2 minutes (min 5 infusions)
Our recommendations for brewing:
1. Heat up the water to 50-60℃.
2. Preheat your cups and a teapot with 60℃ water.
3. Add 4 grams of gyokuro leaves into your warm teapot.
4. Pour 80 ml of water and steep for 2 minutes.
To make the tea concentrated in flavour, the amount of water should be just enough to cover the leaves. If you prefer a less brothy liquor, use 200 ml of water per 4 g of tea.5. Pour out the liquor into your cup until the last drop.
6. Reinfuse 5 times.
Kōridashi, also known as ice-brewing, is a unique and elegant method of tea preparation that involves using ice cubes to infuse the tea leaves. Tea is placed on or under the ice cubes in a teapot or tea cup. This method allows the tea to slowly release its flavours as the ice melts, resulting in a brew that is sweeter and mellower compared to traditional hot water methods.
The slow melting process of kōridashi minimizes the extraction of bitter compounds, which accounts for the smoother, refreshing and more delicate flavour profile.
