While I was in London this May, I joined a seminar conducted by a
well-known tea maker. Some, from Australia or South Africa or so, were talking
about if tea can be brewed with water or not. I told them, “Yes, that is what I
often do especially in summer in Japan!.” They were so surprised that tea can
be brewed with water, even iced-cubes. No wonder, even some (or many) Japanese don’t
know.
Even those who didn’t know about “water-brewed ( known as “mizudashi” )
green tea ” or “ ice-cubed brewed (known as ”koridashi”) green tea”, they start
talking about it…..thanks to “bottled tea”.
A tea company, ITO EN. LTD, released “water-brewed green tea with
Matcha” and “ ice-cubed Gyokuro”.
Anyway…….the season for “mizudashi” and “koridashi” has come in Japan!
