Geeky T-shirts

There are numerous T-shirts with funny words and designs throughout the world. But who would imagine to produce “tea production machine T-shirt”??

A graphic designer-turned-tea shop owner in Osaka made this.

Too geeky, but tea geeks like this kind of stuff. Especially tea makers love it.

Netto Koridashi Sencha

It's been a while since I posted last blog.....Too hot...ha. ha :-(

Even this scorching hot summer,  I try not to drink cold drink a lot, but once in a while I need it. In Japan, green tea brewed with water (known as "mizudashi")  or with ice cubes (known as "koridashi) are relatively common to make cold brew. But the problem is it takes a while to make cold brew.

When you want to drink it soon, there is the way; "Netto Koridashi", which literally means boiling hot water and ice cube brewing. 

This is how to make it.

First, place a lot of ice cubes in a tea pot.

Second, place some tea leaves on the ice cubes.

Then, pour hot water carefully over the leaves.

Wait for a couple of minutes. Ready!

Simple, isnt it? Compare to "koridashi" (brew with only ice cubes), it has a richer taste and darker color. But bitterness won't come out. Of course, multiple infusion is possible.
