Item No. 42200
The
Ooika-
Cold brewer for the preparation of drip tea can be used with hot OR cold water.
However,
it is ideal especially for cold brew green tea highlighting the rich yet sweet green fragrance of high quality
Kabusecha,
known amongst tea-connoisseurs as
Ooika.
The Cold brewer consists of two glass vessels which are connected with a rubber base with a small opening,
which lets the water drip into the stainless steel strainer underneath and then into the lower vessel.
To prepare your cold drip Green Tea measure 2-3 teaspoons of tea into the sieve
(make sure the tea covers the bottom of the strainer evenly)
and fill the upper vessel with 600 to 900ml of water.
You can also use ice cubes to make a Kouridashi-brew,
either letting them melt slowly to drip over the tea or just add them to your tea once its ready.
The preparation takes between 25 and 45 minutes.
You can adjust the speed by pushing the little knob deeper into the rubber base to slow the water flow or pulling it back out to speed it up.
Best suited for this type of preparation is deep steamed
(
fukamushi)
Kabusecha from an early picking,
as these will best release the aroma and all the valuable ingredients of the tea
but also the least astringency.
Our Tip:
Serve the cold drip tea in wine-glasses to surprise your dinner guests with a tasty refreshing alternative to alcohol!
