#shincha — Public Fediverse posts

As the most widely produced tea, Sencha comes in countless varieties of flavors, aromas, and forms, depending on the region, climate, soil, cultivars, and processing style.

Another type of Sencha is #Shincha 新茶, or "new tea." This is a special tea sold immediately after harvesting and processing (not sealed and refrigerated for year-round sale like regular Sencha). It retains all the freshness and aroma of the young spring leaves.

So, how to prepare #Sencha?

After brewing so much Chinese tea in this Japanese Kyusu, figured I should give some Japanese tea a try. Savory and umami elements dominate this Aya-Me Kabuse shincha from Kettl Teas, some nuttiness and salinity. Nice color!

There is a belief that the first tea of the season (初物) has some extra special qualities that will keep you in good health all year.

Get drinking🍵😉

Sencha (煎茶 'green leaf tea') is available from May, but the first matcha arrives in November.

Tencha (碾茶), the tea leaves used for matcha prior to being ground down, are prepared in May and allowed to age until the autumn, creating a gorgeously mellow flavour by November.

Okay #tea aficionadi - recommend me a glass or stainless electric #kettle with temp control down to 50°C, preferably lower, available in USA.

I know people cooled their tea water in #yuzamashi for centuries before there was such a thing. That's more skill than I can manage before I've had my tea.

I've only used wide pour kettles - if you have a gooseneck, how do you like it? Is it worth giving up 10°C of temp control (50°C vs 60° min)?

Nyt mulla on teetä kahdessa eri kupissa, eli muumimukissa ja Espressohousen take away kupissa. Jäi kannullisen verran teetä komannella haudutuksella, niin tuli nami namia 🍵

PS. En viitsinyt tuoda kannua työpöydälle, kun tartti säätää täs muuta.
