Chaya Suzuwa Cold-Brew Sencha

To satisfy tea enthusiasts accustomed to brewing loose-leaf tea in a teapot, we used first-flush leaves and tested dozens of blends and roasting temperatures. Repeated brewing and tasting finally produced the flavour and aroma we were looking for.

Cold brewing brings out a mellow sweetness with less bitterness and astringency.

The secret to the flavour lies in the tea bag's shape as well as its contents.
Tea leaves expand to roughly five times their original size in water.
If the tea bag is too tight when the leaves expand, it restricts the water's contact with them and makes extraction less effective.
We carefully consider the space, size and shape of the tea bag to allow the leaves to open freely.

There is no need to remove the tea bag once brewing is complete.
Flavourful tea particles settle at the bottom, so stir gently before pouring.
