Green tea

It's like biting into kale! This tea is quite different from any of our other Sencha. Most sencha are more seaweed-like; this one is more vegetal than the savory. There is little or no astringency at all. The flavor is very deep and full-bodied. When first sipping this tea, you will notice a hint of floral notes followed by a strong vegetal flavor. The after-taste lingers for a while and then finishes with a pleasantly sweet and creamy aroma.

This particular cultivar was grown by Kawashima-san in Shizuoka, with an average elevation of 150-200 meters. We have a very limited stock of this tea. So, get this tea when you can before it's gone for good. 

Origin: Shizuoka, Japan

If your morning routine involves protein shakes, cappuccinos, or other iced blended drinks, then you want to use this particular Matcha.

Kabuse cha is shaded for about seven days before its harvesting resulting in an increase of antioxidants, and L-theanine effects. The tea leaves tend to be a little longer and stronger than sencha because of the controlled sunlight before its harvesting. A good balance between sencha and gyokuro.

Tea leaves from Zheng He are usually used for silver needle white tea or a black tea. This one, however, has uniquely been made into a nice green tea. As a result, the leaves are much thicker than the normal Clouds & Mist. The flavor is also so much deeper and complex than most of the Chinese green teas available.

Starting off as a "poor man" tea, Genmaicha has now become one of the most popular Japanese green tea. 

You can easily make Genmaicha yourself by roasting brown rice in a pan over medium-high heat and mix them with your favorite green tea. It is surprising that no other country has done the same thing with their leftover green tea.

Each year, our tea farmers take their time to mix organic green tea from multiple harvests to blend in with organic popped brown rice. As a result, you get one of the most complex green tea. Toasty and nutty from the rice, sweet and umami from the earlier harvest, body and fulfilling after taste from the later harvest. 

Notes: Savory, Sweet, Nutty, Roasty

Origin: Shizuoka, Kagoshima, Japan

This green tea is also one of a very few teas that only available at our shop right around after springtime picking.

Hōjicha is a Japanese green tea. It is distinctive from other Japanese green teas because it is roasted in a porcelain pot over charcoal, whereas most Japanese teas are steamed. The tea is fired at a high temperature, altering the leaf color tints from green to reddish brown. The process was first performed in Kyoto, Japan, in the 1920s and its popularity persists today.
