    TEA BUCKS SELECTION

    An unusual Japanese tea, this white stick tea combines the aroma of hojicha with the flavour of green tea, offering a clean, refreshing aftertaste. Known as "demon bones" in Japanese folklore, its swollen white stems resemble bones, slowly heated until they reach their distinctive color. This Wilted tea carries a rich aroma, often evoking floral or fruity scents such as lily of the valley, peach, and muscat

    Steeping Guide

    Serving for one

    1. Pour hot water into both the teapot and teacup to warm them up. Once warm, discard the water.

    2. Add 4g of Shirabone tea leaves to the teapot.

    3. Boil water and let it cool to 90°C (194°F).

    4. Pour 150ml (5 oz) of the cooled water into the teapot, cover, and steep for 45 seconds.

    5. Gently shake the teapot (Kyusu) as you pour the tea into the teacup to extract the full flavors of the leaves.

    6. Re-steep up to 3 times, slightly increasing the water temperature and reducing steeping time with each infusion to unlock new layers of flavor.
