| The
aroma of three types of tea and
its taste in your mouth can be enjoyed.Though
the strength of tea depends on your
liking, it is recommended that the
strength of sen cha should
be stronger, otherwise powdered
green tea should be used. To avoid
the bitterness, you should be careful
about the temparature of hot water.
The high temparature of hot water
which is used to melt matcha
will change the color of tea leaves.
On the contrary hoji cha
should be served with hot water
to give off the aroma. And chill
it at 70ºC to blend with gelatin.
If gelatin contains moderate water
and slightiy harden, you can dish
it up attractively. |
