Japanese Green Tea, The Perfect Cup | Fuji Story ★ ONLY in JAPAN

Japanese Green Tea has a lot of health benefits, but did you know the water temperature can change a lot of those - and significantly alter the taste? This time, I travel to Fuji City in Shizuoka to visit 2 green tea masters called “cha-shi” who will tell us how to make the perfect cup and how to control the taste with temperature, explain the benefits – and how to get the most out of each drop! Varieties of Green Tea in Fuji City ① Sencha ② Fukamushi Sencha ③ Kukicha ④ Bancha ⑤ Genmaicha ⑥ Houjicha Note: Gyocha (Matcha is stone ground Gyocha) are typically grown in Kyoto. ★ What is the perfect temperature for the perfect cup of green tea? Sencha, 70C / 158F for 2-3 minutes If you want more caffeine and a bitter cup, use 100C boiling hot water. Less to no caffeine, use warm 50C water - it'll be sweeter too.
