Bottled tea
Posted: Thu Jul 20, 2023 3:15 pm
I have a very specific question for a friend, but I’m giving this topic a more general title, in case other people will be wanting to add to it over time.
The question for a friend is about a specific Ito en bottled tea, called “bold, green tea”. He’d like to start with tea leaves and prepare something that tastes similar. What I find on their website just says it is made with green tea and ascorbic acid and water. I’m assuming the ascorbic acid is added in quantity to minimize oxidation and not as a flavorant. Does anyone know about the green tea used in this, e.g., sencha, Matcha, Bancha, a mix?
