This green tea comes from the Ashigara district of Hakone. The plants grow slowly with less sunshine than other tea types, producing fewer tannins and resulting in a sweeter tea. When picked, Ashigara tea is also lightly steamed in a process called asamushi that makes a light-colored aromatic tea.

Brewing Instructions

Steep the tea bag in 200 ml/7fl oz of hot water for 40 seconds or to taste.
