How to choose the right tea making utensils.

Tea quality: The quality of the tea leaves is not only determined by the final result of the artisan, but also by the storage conditions of the suppliers and yourself. Green Japanese tea is particularly sensitive to the environment, therefore, the recommended consumption time of this tea is quite short. To extend the expiration date, an unopened green tea package can be stored in a refrigerator. After opening the package, it is recommended to store the tea in a sun-proof package or airtight container in a cool place, as far away from moisture and odours as possible.

Water quality: Water makes up 99% of the contents of our cup of tea, so its quality is as important as the tea itself. The most suitable water for the tea is soft and as close as possible to neutral pH, with a low mineral content (50-100 mg/l). Usually, tap water in Lithuania is heavy, therefore, for best possible results, you should choose filtered or spring water. During boiling, water loses oxygen, thus it is recommended to never boil the same water more than once.

The Osada family is one of Japan’s leaders in organic tea, not only nurturing their own tea fields, but also bringing together more than 30 organic tea farms in Shizuoka Prefecture for 30 years. The Osada family buys the farmer’s ‘aracha’ tea from their cultivated fields and small family farms. The tea from the different farms remains unmixed and is individually brewed to maintain its unique taste and the highest quality. When asked what motivated him to set up an organic farm, he replied that it was his family’s and other farmers’ desire to drink natural tea, eat natural vegetables and drink unpolluted mountain river water. As the master himself says, being an organic farmer has led to a greater interest in and understanding of the tea plant, and this journey of discovery has allowed him to be more adventurous in experimenting and creating the best possible flavours.
