Another shincha that I am trying to finish up as well. I brewed 5 gram of leaves in 5 ounces of filtered water - boiled with bamboo charcoal- in 370ml kyusu by Hokujo (Shimizu Genji). The first brew was about 1 minute which resulted a sweet, light vegetal and clean taste. The second (and third brew - both for about 20 seconds) was bold, pleasantly crisp and nice astringent without bitterness at all. As with any other shincha, after the fourth brew, I continued brewing with boiling water to enjoy its sweet water.
This light steamed shincha is from Shizuoka and 100% sayamakaori breed. Very nice looking asamushi needles!
A big bowl of sayamakaori sweet tea water.
