How to brew your Japanese tea.
You may have received sample tea bags of either “Japanese Green Tea” or “Japanese Hoji Tea (Roasted green tea)”. These tea were grown according to Shumei Natural Agriculture principle without using any synthetic chemicals or fertilisers (including animal manure) to control or manipulate the growing process, but instead focus on supporting and working in partnership with the natural forces to build a balanced, ecological partnership between farmer, food, earth, and eater.
Here is how to brew your tea.
