More about Mantoku (50g Bag)
This 50g Bag of Mantoku is shade-grown Japanese green tea with concentrated umami from Ippodo Tea, a family-run Kyoto tea company founded in 1717. IppodoTea.com is the official Ippodo Tea online store for the United States and Canada.
Ippodo Tea flavor note: Light & Refreshing
Ippodo tasting notes: We recommend Mantoku, the lightest body gyokuro we produce, for drinking throughout the day. While not astringent in the same way as a sencha, Mantoku has some dryness and pleasant bitterness that feel clean and crisp when we drink it after a meal. We first recommend brewing Mantoku with boiling water, serving quickly in just 30 seconds. This method brings out the misty, mossy-green aroma from these leaves, and produces an energizing and light body tea good for drinking in a mug. When brewing with the standard 140°F water, this tea produces a more mellow brew with slight sweetness and umami.
