The Flavor of "047 Pan-Fired Harumoegi"
The charm of pan-fired tea lies in its impressive leaves. As they don't break down as much as steamed leaves, they unfurl like Chinese tea leaves, providing visual enjoyment. Moreover, it's less likely to become bitter even when brewed at high temperatures, making it suitable for brewing piping hot tea. For the first infusion, boldly use high temperature to quickly extract all the aroma, then mix the second and third infusions to fully savor the astringency and depth of the tea.
"047 Pan-Fired Harumoegi" Pairing: Boiled Broad Beans
Broad beans are a must-have accompaniment with this tea. Shelling broad beans, which are in season from April to June, gives you a sense that summer is approaching. The name "soramame" (broad beans) comes from the fact that they grow facing the sky - doesn't it make you feel the cheerful energy of summer? Pairing these enchanting yellowish-green beans with the crisp, sweet pan-fired tea and enjoying them under the sun on a clear day is simply perfect. Sprinkle them lightly with salt, and you can even eat the thin skin.
