Firewood Winter Green Tea is an extremely rare tea that few farmers make. Farmer Yuki Kayashita harvests whole branches of leaves and places them in a steamer made from wooden barrels. The steam is created from boiling water with firewood. After steaming for an hour, the leaves are separated and removed from their branches. They are then laid out to be dried in the cold, dry winter air and sun.
Fruity, sweet and woody, this tea is smooth with a long aftertaste. It's very fluffy! Right now the most I could fit in a bag without crushing the leaves is 15g. As soon as I find a better packaging option, I'll offer bigger portions.
Steep 3g with 200F water for five minutes.
Customer Reviews
I was immediately intrigued by this tea from the description and had to try it. Unlike any green tea I've ever had, like it was wearing a white tea mask to the masquerade. The hot dry aroma was nutty and soft, reminding me of walnuts. The wet aroma was bready without being too thick and smelled like an aged shou Mei. The huigan was looong and rich, almost soapy. Flavors ranged from turkey tail mushroom to ghee and reminded me of fall or a sunny day in winter. Very well rounded, warming and satisfying.
