和紅茶の淹れ方

HOW TO BREW WAKOUCHA

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 Wakoucha.

2 | Pour water over 1 tablespoon of tea leaves per cup.

3 | Steep for 1-2 minutes. All of our teas can be steeped up to 3 times.

FOR ICED WAKOUCHA:
Simply add the desired amount of Wakoucha tea leaves into a container or bottle and pour in boiling water. Let the tea steep and cool down before putting it in the fridge to chill. After 2 hours, the cold brew Wakoucha is ready. Cold tea lasts in the fridge for 2 to 3 days.

For a more mellow flavor, add water to your desired amount of Wakoucha tea leaves and let steep in the fridge for 3 hours before drinking.
