Loose Leaf Tea

If you are cold, tea will warm you; if you are too heated, it will cool you; if you are depressed, it will cheer you; if you are excited, it will calm you.

Naoko Kagoshima Organic Sencha | 50g

$29.99

This delicious organic sencha from the Chiran area (Kagoshima) is picked between June and July by Orita-en, one of the first tea growers to switch to organic farming in Japan. This high-grade green tea can be brewed very quickly, in just 40 seconds. Because of its low caffeine levels, it can be enjoyed at any time during the day.

It's very high levels of theanine and catechines guarantee high contents of amino acids and antioxidants, but also a very nice feeling of relaxation. Although its bitterness is obvious, its lightly roasted fragrance and low-key umami make this green tea the perfect match for a well-deserved break with some sweets.

"The Philosophy of Tea is not mere aestheticism ... for it expresses conjointly with ethics and religion our whole point of view about man and nature. It is hygiene, for it enforces cleanliness; it is economics, for it shows comfort in simplicity rather than in the complex and costly; it is moral geometry, inasmuch as it defines our sense of proportion to the universe." - Kakuzo Okakura

Naoko Kagoshima Organic Sencha | 50g - Shizen Cha

Fantastic

Not an inexpensive tea by any means, but it delivers layers of depth and flavor and can be brewed 5-6 times. Really excellent.

I like the taste but my main gripe is that after the second infusion, the taste becomes very noticeably weak. A high quality green tea can usually get 4 or 5 infusions. For this reason, I don't think the quality justifies $18 for 50 grams. There's plenty of green tea you can find that is better and cheaper.

Shipped immediately, arrived super quick. Looks good quality... can’t wait to use it.

YAME, FUKUOKA | 八女市福岡

Jun Kagoshima Organic Sencha | 50g

$32.99

Tasting Notes | A sweet-tasting tea that leaves a sensation of natural sweetness in the mouth.

For 35 years now, Irie san has invested his time and energy in growing 100% chemical and pesticide-free green tea. Tucked in the forest at nearly 600 meters above sea level in the Yame mountains, the tea leaves used by Irie san benefit directly from healthy and naturally enriched soil.

The most renowned plantations in Fukuoka prefecture are located in Yame area. Morning mists and river fogs are very frequent. Curtains of fog wrap green tea plantations, properly blocking sunlight. This helps in generating more amino acids (including theanine, glutamic acid, arginine, etc.) within the tea leaves. In addition, Yame enjoys an inland climate-high temperature during daytime and very cool and low temperatures at night.

The nutrients, minerals, and vitamins absorbed by the trees end up in the leaves, and so, eventually, in your cup, helping your body to remain strong and healthy. “Jun” is one of the few organic teas from the Yame area. The quality of this Sencha is exceptional. It yields a strong and refreshing taste, either in hot and cold brew.

Easy to brew, the Umami of this tea is very present, and the balance between bitterness and sweetness is exceptional. This tea is definitely one of our favorite and probably the best one to discover and enjoy Japanese green tea. Made in very small quantities by a farmer who relies on the sole power of nature, it is an exceptional and rare tea that even our clients in Japan are surprised to discover. Irie san’s tea has passed the most stringent tests, including those set up in Germany, making it a perfectly safe and healthy beverage to enjoy.

Aichi Gold Premium Sencha | 100g

$22.99

Harvested directly from in Nishio, Aichi, Japan. Sencha Tokujyo Gold tasting notes contain delicate sweetness and deep flowery-green aroma.

Sencha is the most well-known variety of green tea as well as the most popular kind in Japan. In order to make sencha, tea leaves are steamed within a few hours after harvest, thus stopping the oxidation process, then rolled into needles, thus making sure that the leaves’ natural green color is preserved. This process also helps the leaves retain their fragrance and components.

MY FAVORITE TEA OF ALL TIME!

LOVE THIS TEA! HAS GREAT UMAMI FLAVOR! IT TASTES LIKE IT HAS KOMBU MIXED IN! THEY USED TO HAVE IT IN THE ASIAN MARKETS OF THE SUBURBS OF CHICAGO, BUT NOT ANYMORE. LOOK FORWARD TO PURCHASING LOTS OF BAGS!

Fresh green tea!

We live in Ohio and have a hard time finding good quality loose leaf tea. I located the Yae-Midori tea that we drink all the time from Shizen Cha and was very pleased to find out they ship to the Midwest. Not only did we receive the order sooner than expected, it was also very fresh and not stale as sometimes they can be. I will order from them again.

Beautiful item, very professional packing and safe delivery, thank you!
