黒豆茶の淹れ方
HOW TO BREW KUROMECHA
1 | Heat fresh, filtered water until boiled. Let cool very slightly — water close to 203°F (95°C) is ideal for bringing out the fragrance and flavor in Kuromamecha Yui.
2 | Pour water over the Kuromamecha.
3 | Steep for 5 minutes. This tea can be steeped up to 2 times and you can eat the beans afterward.
The first time I tried this tea, I thought it was too toasty. However, when I added milk and honey, it turned out to be a really delightful dessert tea. Over time I have grown accustomed to its taste and I can even drink it without honey, but I always add milk. It's also good for digestive issues, so I will consider purchasing again for that reason.
After Soba, Kuromame is my next most brewed tea nowadays, and Senbird has the best quality I have found in the USA.
I can't drink this tea alone because it's too strong, but it tastes great with milk and local honey. This makes a great dessert alternative and is very good for digestion.
I was introduced to this tea at a local tea shop. They temporarily closed so I had to find it elsewhere. Nice nutty flavor. I like to eat the beans after drinking the tea. Added health benefit!
A little pricey but so delicious smell good and black beans are so healthy.5 stars
