Organic Miyazaki Oolong-Black Tea Minami Sayaka

From the summer harvest, a limited oolong-black tea from Gokase Town in Miyazaki which is made from the rather difficult-to-come-by Minami Sayaka cultivar.

In contrast to the sweet ambrosial nature of our other oolong-black Sakimidori we are also offering this year, this one offers a rather different mouthfeel. It still remains exceptionally aromatic and is rather sweet flavored however it has a touch more excitement and piquancy on the finish. A contrast that we liked a lot, and the reason we decided to offer both!

Brewing Suggestion

Steep	Leaf-Water Ratio	Water Temperature	Infusion Time
1-2	0.6g-0.75g/1oz	95°C/203°F	40 seconds
3	-	95°C/203°F	60 seconds
4+	-	95°C/203°F	3-5 minutes
After brewing this tea at varying brewing parameters we found a few short infusions with around 3g of leaf and 4oz/120ml of water at 95°C/203°F to really show off this teas delicate flavors best. After 3 steeps we enjoyed increasing the brewing time.
