High-quality Uji Gyokuro "Saiga" - 80g (2.82oz):

Gyokuro is a tea grown under the shade. Tea plantations are covered for about 20 days to block direct sunlight. This method aims to suppress the conversion of amino acid (umami) into catechin (astringency). It results in a tea with a lot of flavor (umami). This tea particularity is its green dried seaweed-like scent and a delicate aftertaste. 

 

Charcoal Roasted Hojicha “Moegi”– 100g (3.52oz):

A light roast over charcoal offers this tea a more delicate flavor. A delicate scent tickles your taste buds, and a gentle aroma pervades your mouth and lingers. Hojicha is known to have a nutty flavor.

This tea is popular for soothing the stomach. It can be enjoyed by all – children, pregnant women, elderly, – at any time of the day and without limits. 

 

Organic Uji Sencha (Japanese green tea) with Matcha - 80g tea leaves (2.82oz):

Organic tea cultivation starts with keeping soil in good condition. Perennials like tea are harvested after a waiting period of 3 years without the need of using synthetic chemical pesticides or chemical fertilizers.

Organic farming certainly increases the abundance of insects and the risk of disease outbreak. Therefore, it may affect crop yield and quality. But we work hard everyday to grow tea that you can fully enjoy.

Organic Uji-cha blended with Kyoto Uji matcha. The organic sencha robust flavor works in harmony with the organic matcha mellow flavor. The combination of sencha with matcha features a beautiful green and a deep complex flavor with mellowness. It results in a tea full of flavor. 

 

Karigane Genmaicha – 200g (7.05oz):

The genmaicha is made from mixing roasted brown rice kernels with Japan grown sencha karigane (kukicha). It is a slightly astringent green tea with a refreshing scent and taste.
