Kagoshima Chiran Tea (Japanese green tea) - 100g (3.52oz):

Chiran tea is made from tea leaves grown in Chiran, a former town in Kagoshima Prefecture, now part of the city of Minamikyushu. It is processed by Tokkoen, a Japanese tea company. 
 

This aromatic tea has a rich taste. Cold brewing the tea creates a richer and more flavorful experience. 

 

Hoshino Sencha "Fukuoka Yame" - 100g (3.52oz):

This tea is grown in Hoshino village in Yame City Ward in Shizuoka Prefecture. Nature is dense here, and this area is renowned for producing high quality gyokuro, matcha and sencha.

The smell of fresh grass and its roundness on the palate make it an exceptional sencha. It is a very soft and pleasant tea in the mouth.

Several Award-Winnings Yame Tea

It is highly regarded for its quality and has won numerous awards over the years in various tea competitions, including the "Emperor's Cup", the highest distinction among agricultural awards. It has also won the "production area" prize in the Gyokuro category several times at the National Tea Competition. This award recognizes the qualities of the place and its culture.

Quality over quantity!

The cultivation methods and the place's particularity make the tea of this region a tea of excellence. In addition, Yame tea is only harvested during the first and second harvest, like the rest of Japan, where there is a third or even a fourth harvest. This allows the tea plant to rest and produce even better tea the following year. 

 

Uji Sencha "Zuiun" - 80g (2.82oz):

The harvested tea leaves are immediately steamed to stop fermentation. Tea leaves are knead and dried many times to break the fibers and make it easier to extract the components.

This green tea reveals an elegant taste characterized by a strong astringency. Your favorite biscuits and food pair well with this refreshing tea. 

 

Shizuoka Sencha "Kawane" - 80g (2.82oz):

Kawane was a town located upper near the Oi river in Shizuoka prefecture. This mountainous region, often surrounded by morning mist, offers the best suited climate for the growth of tea. Kawane is proud to produce some of the highest quality teas in Japan.

This strong in body tea is floral in the aroma with a beautiful yellow-green color in the cup.
