Kukicha Special Harvest One of our favorite green teas. Made from the spring's first flush leaves and tender leaf stems, Kukicha is a fragrant and extremely flavorful tea with a fresh, vegetal taste and sweet, mellow finish. Our kukicha is a deep-steamed sencha (known in Japan as fukamushi cha). This longer steaming process results in a tea with a more intense flavor and a deep emerald color.

Origin: Japan, Shizuoka Prefecture, Hatsukura.


Brewing Recommendation: Use 2 teaspoons per 6 oz cup. Heat water until steaming (170 - 180º F). Let steep 60-90 seconds. Good for multiple infusions.

Yame Gyokuro With a mellow sweetness that softens the heart, Gyokuro (Jade Dew) is the very best of Japan's green teas. Before harvesting, the tea bushes are shaded so that the leaves develop a higher chlorophyll level and less tannin. The result is a very refined tea with dark green leaves, a sweet, mild flavor and fresh, flowery-green aroma.

Origin: Japan, Fukuoka Prefecture, Yame.

Brewing Recommendation: Use 1.5 to 2 teaspoons per 6 oz cup. Heat water until wisps of steam appear (140-150º F). Let steep 2 minutes. It is important to use cool water for Gyokuro, to bring out the best flavor of this special tea. For second and third infusions, let steep 30 seconds and 60 seconds, respectively.
