"Kōshun" single origin green tea
Koushun is an exceptionally fragrant and savory tea cultivated in Asamiya, Shigaraki-Cho, famous for Yabukita. It is completely different from any other green tea with its unique character resembling herbal tea.

Altitude: 500 meters
Picking time: middle of May 2022
Cultivation method: grown in direct sunlight
Temperature for roasting: 70℃
Ohmi tea has great prestige and is loved by many for its rich flavor and fragrance, which are brought about by the rich nature, plenty of sunshine and the beautifully clean waters and air coming from the surrounding Suzuka mountains.
As the legend goes, Zen monks brought the first tea seeds to the area in the 14th century from Kyoto, so zen temples cultivated Ohmi tea first. Thanks to its characteristic aromas, by the 19th century, it became much in demand, even for export.

Definitely has a unique taste, almost like a Chinese green tea. Has a metallic astringency to it. Overall the flavor is not my favorite but worth trying if you want to experience something different.

Its a really pleasant and complex tea. Light yellow color, umami like scent. 1. Steep: 5g tea, 80°C, 2dl water, 1 min Middle strong and long lasting umami taste. Really light but pleasant salti bitterness with light green sorrel taste (without astrigency or sour taste) 2. Steep: 80°C, 2dl water, 30 sec Deep green taste, light sweetness, just a hint of astrigent aftertaste 3. Steep: 85°C, 2dl water, 2 min Lighter green taste, more sweetness, if the temperature is higher, it becomes caramell like taste (90°C) 4. Steep: 90°C, 2dl water, 3 min Light green taste, sweet caramell notes I recommend to brew as Mizudashi. (20g tea, 1l water, 8-12 hours). It has a strong and sweet green taste with soft umami. Really pleasant. I brewed it 4 times as mizudashi(after many steeping, the aroma will be weaker, but even good taste)
