旅する日本茶 掛川茶

Brewed my second cup this morning and the balance is exactly what I’ve been chasing—gentle sweetness without any bitterness that lingers. The leaves from Kakegawa region really do hold up for a second steep, which feels like two cups for the price of one.

The first brew was so smooth and gentle, it reminded me of a quiet morning in the countryside. I’ve already gone through half the bag just steeping it for work lunches, and the balance never gets bitter.

I was blown away by the depth of flavor from this Japanese green tea—the umami taste lingers beautifully without any bitterness. It brews a clean, bright cup that perfectly starts my morning routine.
