Enjoying Japanese tea everyday

-Japanese-style tea-
Find an accessible place for your daily tea set

Many Japanese people drink green teas daily, and they usually keep their tea set on the kitchen counters or dining tables. Everyone’s Tea thinks it is pretty important to find an accessible place to store a daily tea set. Let’s create a little Japanese tea station on your kitchen counter. Select tea cups and pots that appeal to you. Try switching your favorite mug for a Japanese cup. Imagine a tea set on a Japanese wooden tray and covered with Japanese fabric on your kitchen counter. It can add color to your room. Doesn’t it make you want to use them?

Try different teas for different occasions

If you do not know where to start, Everyone’s Tea will recommend a fine sencha and hojicha. Sencha are the most common and basic Japanese teas. Try sencha when you want to relax like at your tea times or after meals. When you want plenty of tea like during meals, and when you do not want much caffeine, try hojicha. Hojicha are usually reasonable priced teas and have less caffeine than sencha.
Want to explore more of Japanese tea? How about gyokuro? They are premium and expensive green teas. They have a rich and mild taste. It is perfect for luxurious tea times with your friends. You can try genmaicha or bancha instead of hojicha. They are also reasonable teas. Genmaicha have a unique flavor, and bancha have refreshing taste. Everyone’s Tea hopes that you will find your favorite Japanese tea.

Taking care of tea leaves and teapots

There is no difficult maintenance for tea leaves and tea wares. Just taking regular care and cleaning is fine.

Tea leaves

Japanese green teas are more perishable than Oolong or English teas. To keep them fresh, it is important to avoid oxidation, high temperature, humidity, light, and capturing other odors.
1. Keep a small amount tea leaves for daily use in the tea caddy
When you purchase a fresh tea, leave only an amount for one week’s use in your daily tea caddy. Double lid and lightproof tea caddies will be good. Just avoid leaving them near the stove or a window that sunlight comes in.
2. Keep the rest of your tea leaves in a cool place in airtight containers
Wooden tea caddies look good by their natural appearance, and are okay for a short term storing. However, metal (stainless, aluminum, tin or copper) airtight tea caddis or containers are better for long-time storage. You do not have to store teas in the refrigerator. However, storing in low temperature can slow oxidation. There are two things to care about for refrigerator storing. You need extra care to prevent capturing other odors when storing in the refrigerator or freezer. Try double rapping, like putting the airtight tea caddy in an airtight plastic bag. The other thing is that the tea will gather frost and moisture when opening a cold tea package from the refrigerator. It is not good for the tea. Therefore, leave the package at room temperature for a while, and then open it.

Tea pot

1. Rinse with hot water
Take out tea the leaves and rinse it with hot water. Washing with hot water makes it dry faster.
2.Dry well
Dry the outside with soft fabric. Leave the pot with the lid open, and air dry the inside. When air drying, Everyone’s Tea will not recommend keeping the pot upside down. The water might remain around the rim of the opening. After it is completely dried, put the lid back and store it.

Isn’t that easy? Right after each use, just rinse with hot water and dry well. You will avoid tea stains.
