Karma Karma Kamairicha #1 (90g)

I really enjoy this tea when I brew it with extra hot water (but not boiling) and let it steep for 2, and then 2.5 minutes. It has a fullness that my taste buds don't find bitter or "earthy." It just tastes clean and fresh and maintains its flavor throughout the finish. I only go for 2 steepings. This tea has a nice freshness to it.

I’ve found this tea to be a lovely and unassuming daily drinker. I make big thermos of it all at once via 4 or 5 or 6 so infusions in a 160ml glass pot with 7 or 8 grams of tea at 175F, going up to 185 or 195 after the third infusion, starting at 30 secs and going up 15 secs or so with each infusion. Go ahead and judge my lazy or irreverent methods. I like this tea because it’s got enough character and integrity that i can brew it somewhat casually, stockpile a bunch of small imfusions into a thermos and hit the road to work on a weekday and have my day reliably enhanced. Love the sweet—and equally unassuming—graphics also.
