Drip Teaについて -About Drip Tea-
We, Tea Futoh, produce “Drip Tea” and “Drip Tea +plus” that enable us to make authentic Japanese tea easily and anytime.
Reasons Why Drip Tea Is Delicious
POINT 1 /
Well-opened tea leaves extract umami.
A tip to make a delicious cup of tea is to open up tea leaves as dancing in a cup by pouring hot water. Tea leaves in a drip bag open up slowly in hot water and extract umami well.
Drip bags have room inside like teapots so tea leaves can spread enough. While you wait for the tea, you can enjoy the view of the tea leaves opening slowly.
POINT 2 /
Special drip bag exclusively invented for tea.
Mesh fabrics
The drip bags that were invented exclusively for Japanese tea use mesh fabrics.
The different type of mesh fabrics to the ones of coffee has rough texture so that hot water flows into the leaves well. It is special to extract umami from tea leaves.
*While the bags for coffee use close texture to prevent oil from extracting out, the ones for tea apply rough texture enough to see through the other side.
Handy and easy with mugs
These fabrics and structures make it possible to enjoy the rich flavour of tea leaves.

How To Enjoy Drip Tea
POINT 1 /
Enjoy the aroma
Since the top of drip bags is open, you can enjoy the steam with a nice aroma after pouring hot water while waiting. So far, it was hard to sense it due to a lid though, but now you can enjoy it.
POINT 2 /
Multiple infusing
You can enjoy a few cups with one drip bag. If you drain well each time, you can enjoy three or four cups with the same drip bag.
The flavour also changes each time.For example, the first infusion has a rich aroma and firm sweetness.
The second infusion has a soft aroma and refreshing bitterness.You can enjoy the difference.
