Trying to find Hojicha temperature
Posted: May 6th, '13, 00:55
I have two Adagio ingenuitea(the large ones), one at work and one at home. At work, we have an automatic hot water dispenser. Whenever I add that water to my hojicha tea, it quickly becomes a nice golden brown color in the teapot and is very aromatic. I rather enjoy it like this.
I have bought a utilitea water boiler for use at home, and no matter using it within the green range or even a bit higher, can I seem to acquire the same characteristics I can when at work... that quick aroma and quickly browning water. My tea keeps coming out very light colored in comparison in the teapot, and isn't as aromatic.
I know the hot water dispenser at work isn't set at a boiling temperature or anything.
What temperature do I need to brew my Hojicha tea at to match what I'm experiencing at work?
Thank you,
