Japan

Our premium grade Japanese Sencha green tea hails straight from the tea gardens in Kagoshima, Japan.

This Japanese Sencha is packed with antioxidants due to the shade growing process. Shade growing produces chlorophyll and L-theanine, bringing out more rich Umami notes when steeping. Chlorophyll has also been said to be great for detoxing.

Asked Questions

Clear your mind and find the answers to our most common questions regarding our estates, organic practices, and tea rituals.

What if I am caffeine sensitive?

−

Removing caffeine is simple. Steep your tea for 30 seconds then pour the water off. Re-steep and enjoy as 98% of the caffeine is now removed.

Tips on how to make a great cup of tea

Since tea is 99% water the quality of the water you use will have an impact on the flavor of your tea. We recommend using filtered water or spring water.

How Much Tea should I use?

We recommend 1 teaspoon per 8oz cup of tea. If you like your tea a bit stronger or love to live life on the edge, feel free to experiment. After all, tea is an art.

What about water temperature?

The Lighter the tea the cooler the temperature of water for the most part. The easiest way to determine the water temperature is to allow the water to boil then simply let the water cool off for about a minute or more depending on the tea.

How long should I steep my tea for?

Lighter teas generally require less time for steeping. White tea will be best brewed for 90 seconds to 3 minutes, Green tea for 1-2 minutes and Black Tea for 3-5 minutes. If stronger flavor is desired, add more tea, not time. Sensitive teas will taste bitter if infused longer than the recommended steep time.

How should I store my tea?

Think of tea as a sponge when it comes to absorbing heavy odors. It’s best to keep it stored in an air tight container. Don’t store your tea next to your spices. Tea also needs to be stored away from direct sunlight and in a cool dry place.

How many infusions can tea withstand?

Quality tea can be infused multiple times. Many of our teas will yield an excellent flavor on the 2nd or 3rd infusion.
