The soft mineral, lightly grassy notes of Chinese sencha, along with its gentle astringent bite top off the fruity mango character and the core lager attributes.
Combine 4 oz lager (or other beer with light/mild character) with 1 gram Organic Sencha 8911 into a French press or similar container
Place the beer + tea leaves in the refrigerator overnight
Check the tea leaves periodically to make sure they remain submerged during this steeping process

COMMENT
The mild astringency and herbaceousness of the sencha is key to defining the sequential layers of the grainy/hoppy lager and the sweet/sour fruitiness of the mango.
