My man cant resist to smell the leaves each time he opens the bag, i feel you bro, that fresh scent is such an integral part of fully savoring a tea session ❤
Great video! Another option I enjoy is ambient brewing: steep sencha at room temperature for a couple of hours and then pour it over ice. It's essentially a faster cold brew with a slightly different flavor profile.
Love this comparison! It's been my observation also that cold brew tends to be more heavy on the umami profile, sweet and full bodied. Also, fair warning, similar to cold brew coffee it is surprisingly strong on the energy kick side of things :) And a little secret third option that my friend (a tea afficionado and owner of a tea room) showed me: letting ice cubes melt over sencha.
What I often do is brew a hot pot of tea and when finished pour cold water over the leaves and stick it in the refrigerator for a cold brew the next day.
How about brewing a normal cup of sencha, letting it stand in room temperature to cool off for a bit, then putting in the fridge for the following day? This would have the same consistency as a hot cup but cooled. I often do this when I can't finish the second or third cup of hot tea.
Ice brew/kooridashi is great, but my main issue with it is getting good tasting ice! In the past, the ice from my freezer tasted off so I'd buy ice just for ice brewing

I also do this sometimes! It's great how versatile cold brewing is
Thanks for your tea passion, David 🍵

Love your videos!
Hello David
Very nice video, just like Tezumi.
Could you please give me the reference of your little scale?
Is it a Hario too?
This one is actually from an aliexpress brand called fuego. I think timemore also makes a similar sized one
@@tezumitea Ah yes, I saw this brand on Amazon. Thanks for the tip

To be honest, I don't think I've actually tried this yet! I'd worry a bit about oxidation, but I'll have to give it a try
Great video !
What is your opinion on ice brew ? I personnaly love it when it's really hot, otherwise it takes too long for the ice to melt

Can you do a gyokuro video next? :)
There's one in the works!
These bottles also come at 1l…. Just saying……
ahh, but that one's not as portable! still great though
