This tea is made from a raw tea called tencha that is air dried, then dried flakes are ground between two stones, just like centuries ago. The result is a fine powder that is almost neon green, called matcha. The liquor is made by dissolving the tea powder into water. There is no brewing like with other teas. You drink the leaf. The liquor is thick and frothy from the mixing. It is an opaque brilliant green color.
The aromas are faint and only discernible from the broth. They offer hints of honeydew melon sweetness over a base note of cooked spinach. Since it comes from air dried teas, there are no notes of toastiness.
Traditionally enjoyed hot, jobetsugi is a mouth filling experience.
Brewing time 1 to 2 minutes. Brewing temperature 160 Fahrenheit
