Tekiro’s light body and smooth character make it a good tea for drinking throughout the day. When brewed at the standard 140°F, it has just enough sweetness and richness to be satisfying at mellow, slow tea sessions.

For a different experience altogether, brew with hot water for just 30 seconds, just like a bancha tea. Boiling water brings out a wonderful misty fragrance and a crisp taste from Tekiro. This method is good for enjoying during or after a meal, or for when you want a mug of tea to sip while reading a book.
