| Types Of Organic Green Tea At Our Store |
|
|
Here at Yuuki-Cha we carry a carefully selected range of high quality organic green tea from Japan. All of the teas we carry come with JAS and/or USDA and/or QC&I organic certification. Please, see the following list of the types of organic teas that we currently stock:
ORGANIC SENCHA:
Our range of organic sencha has been optimized to impress. We currently stock sencha from some of the most highly regarded certified organic tea farms in Japan. We don't just stock organic sencha from the famed regions of Uji and Shizuoka. We search far and wide, throughout the tea growing regions of Japan, to find the best tasting organic sencha for our customers. We purchase the highest graded organic sencha from each tea farm, all of which are not available outside of Japan and are exclusive to our online store.
ORGANIC POWDERED SENCHA:
Don't be outfoxed by many vendors who label this tea up as matcha. Powdered sencha is a wonderfully healthy green tea in it's own right, but is produced from sencha which is sun grown, unlike matcha which is produced from shade grown leaves. Our organic powdered sencha comes from Uji, and in contrast to many other sencha powders available on the market that are made from low graded sencha leaves, ours is ground down using first harvest leaves making it a superior powdered green tea with many health benefits. It is also a very convenient green tea that can be made instantly which makes it perfect for those who lead a busy lifestyle.
ORGANIC KABUSECHA:
Kabusecha is grown in full sunlight the same as sencha. However, around 2-4 weeks prior to harvesting the tea bushes are directly covered with black netting. This blocks around 50% of sunlight and helps produce a sweet tasting green tea. Depending on the cultivation, coverage period, tea breed etc the characteristics of kabusecha are either more akin to gyokuro, sencha or both. A fine Japanese green tea!
ORGANIC GYOKURO:
Organic gyokuro, which is still pretty much a rare commodity in Japan, is the finest Japanese green tea of them all. There are only a few farms in Japan, almost all of which are in Uji, that produce certified organic gyokuro, so we feel privileged to offer you one that comes with both JAS and USDA certification.
ORGANIC CEREMONIAL MATCHA:
We currently stock a wide range of organic ceremonial matcha from Uji and one organic matcha from Yame all of which are 100% stone-ground, and are made from the first harvested buds and leaves that appear on select shade grown tea bushes in spring. All our matcha is certified organic by JAS, and our yuuki series of matcha is also certified organic by USDA.
ORGANIC GENMAICHA:
First time buyers are almost always impressed with genmaicha. All of our organic genmaicha is made by our farmer in Kyoto. Only first harvest leaves are used from Kyoto along with organic brown rice that is organically cultivated in Nara, Japan. You will find that all of our organic genmaicha will lift your spirits everytime you drink it. wonderfully refreshing, and a great daily Japanese green tea.
ORGANIC SAN NEN BANCHA:
Also called twig tea, san nen bancha is known for its healing properties when used in such Japanese medicinal drinks as ume-sho-bancha. A great daily tea that can be brewed in a big teapot and left to be drunk throughout the day. It can be drunk hot or cold, and is particularly good drunk hot in the winter months as it helps maintain blood circulation which keeps you warm throughout the cold season. Often drunk by people following a macrobiotic, vegetarian or vegan diet here in Japan.
ORGANIC HOUJICHA:
The Japanese green tea that is always hyped for its low caffiene. This makes it the perfect green tea for all ages from the young to the old. Hojicha is served everywhere in Japan from schools to restaurants to hospitals. It can be served hot or cold and is wonderfully refreshing.
