Iced Gyokuro and Sencha Using Konacha
Iced Gyokuro and Sencha Using Konacha:
Konacha brews quickly and flavorfully in about half the time as regular Gyokuro or Sencha tea leaves, so Konacha is perfect for Iced Gyokuro and Sencha. You can prepare Iced Gyokuro or Sencha in two ways, (1) Brewing by hot water once and cooling quickly, and (2) Brewing by cool water. The same two methods are used to make iced tea with regular Gyokuro and Sencha.
(1) Brewing by hot water once and cooling quickly
This brewing technique involves brewing the tea in hot water, then cooling it quickly by pouring the hot tea into a glass filled with pieces of ice.
Particularly in the case of Sencha, you can enjoy the refreshing and astringent taste that Sencha is well-known for, because this hot brewing technique extracts Catechin and Caffeine that are not extracted by brewing with ice or cold water. This way is also suitable when you wish to enjoy the healthful benefits of Catechin and Caffeine, such as when you would like to concentrate or have energy. This way is suitable for Gyokuro and Sencha Konacha.

(2) Brewing by cool water
This brewing process is easy to do and creates tea which is easy to store and preserves well. You can enjoy the smooth and mellow taste of both Gyokuro and Sencha without any bitter notes because Caffeine is not extracted in cold water.
This way is suitable for Gyokuro and Sencha Konacha.
