We will always remember... after the horrible earthquake (M7.6) hit central Taiwan on Sep. 21, 1999, the 1^st overseas rescue team arrived Taiwan was... Japan.  

日本の平安を祈ります！

If you have attended Japanese tea parties, you may know Japanese change their tea bowls regularly, according to the season and festival…

We use this Matcha bowl to enjoy our Matcha recently, just before an important Japanese traditional festival – Girls’ Festival on March 3. 

Yet we can only use this lovely tea bowl from mid Feb. till March 3, and then next year…  What a pity, I wish we could use it all year round…

According to the feedbacks we got from our clients so far – if you make your tea with tea leaves of other brand, it’s very likely you have to add more tea leaves and adjust the timing as well… 

Please keep your eyes open, we will also share another easy formula for tea leaves in balls soon… J

* For your information, 1 tbsp is about 2~4g loose leaf tea… 
(Perhaps a bit more or less, depends on how loose the leaf tea is…)  

** A GREEN option - just put tea leaves into mug directly and strain the tea in final step.

As Japanese got some seeds from India by all means in the Japanese Time of Taiwan, we started to plant and produce Assam Black Tea from then on…  Due to the excellent quality, most Formosa Black Tea and Oolong Tea were exported to the West with great reputation generations before.

The taste of PRAVO No.95 Tea is very “wild”, you will surely enjoy the rapid changes of multi aromas/flavors from Nature with closed eyes.  Even you make it a bit too strong by accident, the taste is still very smooth.  In addition, it will surprise you with the sweetness and comfortable feeling in your throat, which occurs only in high quality black tea.

If you take a close look at our Assam tea leaves carefully, you’ll find they look very “wild” through it has been guaranteed as organic tea.  Indeed, these tea trees grow up naturally and we keep the natural outlook of these tea leaves in the whole procedures.  This ecotea is great and healthy yet limited.

Q:

What Is The Suitable Temperature to Make Tasty HOT Tea?

 

A:

Different types of tea, partly because of the maturity of tea leaves, partly because of different production procedures, require different temperature of hot water to spread out their maximal aromas. 

Here is the easiest way for beginners to judge the suitable temperature of water quickly – checking the surface of tea leaves, and you can reach 80% accuracy easily though there are several factors that matter. 

Please keep it in mind – the hotter the water is, the shorter the time should be given rest factors remain.  For instance, your tea may be too bitter if you keep tea leaves in 100°C / 212°F hot water with 20 seconds delay (compared with the usual timing you adopt to) no matter how expensive your tea is.  But on the other way around, if you don’t keep the tea leaves in lower temperature for longer time, your tea may be too thin.

It’s not a difficult task, just needs some practices…  The more you practice, the faster you’ll figure out your own preference and enjoy the great taste as a reward.  ;-)

In addition to the main honey flavor and sweetness of pure Oolong Black Tea, Cinnamon aromas make it deeper, which is even better for chilly days. Just try it! And I bet you’ll love it! ;-)

As this tea party was held for “tea gourmets” of Taiwan and Japan, we both took it seriously…  We made our tea with unique tea utensils, which were hand-made by well-known Taiwanese artists; while Japanese wore their traditional formal dress.

We enjoyed Japanese national drink – Green Tea in Japanese way; while Japanese learnt our way to drink various types of Taiwan/Formosa tea.

We were very careful in numberless details in serious Japanese way; while Japanese all felt quite relaxing in our flexible Taiwanese way – it’s really much easier for foreigners to learn...

We were surprised by the deep meanings behind all the motions of making Japanese tea; while Japanese were amazed by the variety as well as multi flavors/aromas of Taiwan tea as Japan just produces Green Tea due to climate limit.

All participants enjoyed different tastes of tea as well as tea cultures from another country…  Everyone laughed a lot partly because of the funs resulted from culture difference and partly because of the delicious tea…  (Obviously, Japanese tried their best to pretend serious, just as usual, but they burst into laugh with us finally…J)

With “body language and sincerity,” we created this unique tea time together…  After all, good willingness is universal and beyond words… J
