Details & Attributes

Fujisan offers a perfect balance of astringency and sweetness. When brewed at a low temperature, it's sweet; at a high temperature, it has a satisfying astringency. The moderate bitterness in the throat transforms into a gradual, lingering taste.

It's more robust than Goraiko, with a slightly thicker taste that provides a long-lasting aftertaste.

Preparation Guide

Slide through the following step-by-step guideline, and brew the perfect cup of tea at home.

Leaves

Measure With Care

For the perfect brew, use 5g (1 Tbsp) of Fujisan.

This amount allows you to enjoy the tea’s evolving flavors through up to 5 infusions, each offering new notes with every pour.

Temperature

Gentle Heat

Start cool and raise gradually:

70°C (158°F) → 80°C (176°F) → 90°C (194°F) → 100°C (212°F) → 100°C (212°F).

Each step draws out new layers of flavor, from delicate umami to rich depth.

Water

The Right Balance

Use 150ml (5oz) of water for each infusion.

Consistency ensures every steep reveals the tea’s full character, from the first pour to the last.

Brewing

Timing Each Infusion

Steep with care:

70s → 40s → 60s → 70s → 100s

Each step reveals a new layer of flavor, balancing freshness, depth, and lingering sweetness.

Tips

Perfect Your Infusion

For a lighter taste, reduce brewing by 10 seconds; for a stronger flavor, extend by 10 seconds

First, pour into a Yuzamashi (cooling vessel) to harmonize flavor and aroma before serving.

Always pour until the very last drop, where the richest flavor concentrates.

Tea Pairing


Best moment of the day:
Breakfast - Lunch - Afternoon Breaks

Japanese tea is traditionally offered with Japanese sweets. They also pair very well with all sorts of meals, either for breakfast, lunch, breaks, or even dinner (for the lower-caffeine tea).

During his years of serving tea to his dear customers, Mohei's knowledge of the flavors and characteristics of his teas allows him to share the wonders of an exceptional green tea served with the right food. When paired well, Japanese tea can unlock further benefits such as better digestion, better diet, or enhanced sensation of satiety.
