Colombia is known by the vast majority as the land of coffee. We are delighted to offer you this high quality leaf tea from Colombia. Our Leafy Green is grown at altitudes of between 1,800 – 2,000 m and picked by hand according to the principle “two leaves and a bud”. It convinces with its semi-open, twisted leaf and some tips. The cup is light and has mildly sweet base notes that are complemented by aromas of nuts and a subtle tanginess.
There is an increasing demand for organically grown teas, so we selected this wonderful organic Genmaicha to be part of our new tea offerings. Genmaicha is often brewed in large bowls in Japan and the floating puffed rice are eaten as a small snack to accompany the tea. The puffed rice is called "blossom" or "flower" and can also be sieved out of the brew. Our blend comes from the Kagoshima Prefecture and is produced on farms around Kirishima.
The Japanese traditionally drink this tea with their meals and it is considered a classic everyday tea. The large-leafed tea is taken from the lower shoots of the tea plant, which are rich in minerals, but contain up to 70 % less caffeine than Gyokuro teas, which are picked from young shoots. After infusing, the evenly worked leaf shows its real quality and fine structure. The taste is very soft, discreet and slightly grassy. The discreet note makes this tea perfectly suitable both for green tea beginners and green tea lovers.
Genmaicha means natural rice. This specialty is made from Bancha tea, to which approximately 50 % roasted or popped rice grains have been added. The incomparable taste is characterized by the mildness of the Bancha tea and is ideally complemented by the pleasant, slightly sweet and nutty caramel note. Thanks to the low caffeine content and the fine mildness, this tea can be consumed all day long. Also here, green tea beginners can make their first positive experience. The Japanese prefer this tea for afternoon consumption.
This tea master rarity has its origin in a garden near the river Hiki in the district of Wakayama. The dark green leaves, which are shaped like long pine needles, are fascinating. The infusion is light yellow, very clear and with typical fresh grass scent and an intense, highly aromatic taste. Up to three infusions are possible!Due to the small production quantities, we can only offer limited stock!
