Il y a quelques années, nous sommes tombés sur un véritable trésor et avons tout de suite su qu’il nous le fallait : ce sencha vert incroyablement délicieux. Élaboré à partir de jeunes bourgeons encore en phase de maturation, ce thé se distingue par une douceur délicate et une saveur qui persiste avec élégance après chaque gorgée. Ce thé, notre "Mio" 100 % Yabukita, provient de la toute première récolte printanière dans le district de Sakabe, sur le plateau de Makinohara — la région la plus réputée du Japon pour le thé, grâce à la qualité exceptionnelle de son sol et de son climat.

Ce qui rend le Sencha Mio unique, c’est son processus de cuisson à la vapeur de durée moyenne, qui lui confère une douceur subtile et agréable. C’est un goût qui reste en bouche, parfaitement équilibré entre douceur et légère astringence, pour une expérience toujours renouvelée. Cette variété Yabukita saisit l’essence des bourgeons jeunes encore en développement, appelés miru-me, et mêle leur fraîcheur à une tendresse exquise — faisant de ce thé l’un des meilleurs thés verts que vous puissiez trouver à Shizuoka.

Le thé vert frère de Mio, Haruna, cultivé dans le même district, est récolté un ou deux jours plus tard. Ce léger décalage permet aux feuilles de mûrir un peu plus, enrichissant leur saveur mais diminuant légèrement la douceur caractéristique de Mio.

Mio est particulièrement facile à infuser, bien que nous recommandions d’utiliser une théière conçue pour le fukamushi-cha afin d’obtenir un résultat optimal. Il suffit de veiller à ne pas utiliser une eau trop chaude, de ne pas trop infuser, ni de mettre trop de feuilles.

Un petit conseil d’infusion : laissez refroidir l’eau à environ 70 °C (160 °F) et observez attentivement les feuilles de thé s’ouvrir dans toute leur splendeur.

Comme tous nos thés verts en feuilles, Mio est soigneusement conditionné dans des sachets remplis d’azote pour garantir une fraîcheur maximale à l’ouverture.

Chaque paquet contient 100 grammes de ce thé délicieux, vous promettant de nombreux instants paisibles et agréables.

Découvrez la richesse délicieuse du Shizuoka Sencha Haruna, un thé vert reconnu pour sa douceur inimitable et sa saveur vive et corsée. Cultivé dans les sols riches en nutriments de la région de Sakabe, sur le plateau de Makinohara, le Haruna est récolté à son apogée gustative, garantissant que chaque tasse offre une expérience profonde.

Nommé en hommage à la fille du producteur, Haruna incarne la croissance et la force, à l’image du caractère robuste et résilient de ce thé d’exception. Cette variété se distingue par une douceur marquée, équilibrée par une légère astringence et une finale fraîche et limpide, pour une dégustation raffinée.

Bien que le Haruna partage son origine avec notre thé vert Mio, une récolte espacée de seulement deux jours donne à chacun un profil gustatif unique. Le Haruna est nettement plus sucré et expressif, tandis que le Mio séduit par sa délicatesse subtile. Ensemble, ils offrent une comparaison agréable pour trouver votre préféré.

L'infusion du Haruna est simple, mais pour en tirer le meilleur, nous recommandons une théière adaptée au fukamushi-cha. Une température et un temps d'infusion appropriés sont essentiels pour révéler toute la richesse de ce thé. Conditionné dans des sachets remplis d’azote pour préserver sa fraîcheur, chaque paquet de 100 grammes promet une qualité et une saveur remarquables.

Explorez les caractéristiques uniques du Shizuoka Sencha Haruna et savourez son goût et son arôme exquis.

Known for its need for lower temperatures and higher tea-to-water ratios, gyokuro finds a perfect match in this teapot's design, which ensures optimal flavor extraction and precise temperature control during multiple infusions.

The Shiboridashi teapot's compact size, measuring 10.5 cm wide by 5.3 cm tall and holding approximately 100ml (3.4 ounces), is ideally suited for preparing individual cups of tea. Its unique design foregoes a traditional filter basket, featuring instead a narrow gap between the teapot’s body and the lid, which aids in a smooth pour while effectively retaining larger tea leaves, such as those of gyokuro and light-steamed asamushi sencha. This thoughtful feature makes it especially suited for teas requiring room to expand without escaping into the brew.

Please note, due to its specific features, this teapot is recommended for larger leaf teas and may not be suitable for finer leaf varieties like fukamushi-cha, which could slip through the gap.

Crafted with an eye for both beauty and functionality, each Shiboridashi teapot is a testament to the skilled craftsmanship of Tokoname artisans. Due to the handcrafted nature of these teapots, slight variations from the images shown are to be expected, each piece adding a unique character to your tea brewing rituals.

Ideal for those deeply invested in the nuances of green tea, particularly gyokuro, this Shiboridashi teapot promises a refined brewing experience, blending traditional techniques with modern aesthetic sensibilities.

Glazed Japanese Green Tea Teapot – Compact Ceramic Kyūsu for 1–2 Cups

The Perfect Japanese Green Tea Teapot for Solo Brewing

Designed for green tea enthusiasts who appreciate mindful brewing, this Japanese green tea teapot is a ceramic-glazed kyūsu that balances traditional craftsmanship with modern function. With a 320 ml capacity, it’s the ideal size for brewing just one or two cups—perfect for enjoying premium sencha, gyokuro, or kukicha without waste.

This Japanese green tea teapot blends traditional aesthetics with modern usability. Its hand-glazed ceramic body helps retain heat for steady steeping, while the removable, finely meshed stainless-steel infuser basket ensures clean brewing and easy cleanup. Designed for deep and medium-steamed green teas, it can also be used to brew gyokuro or light-steamed varieties when needed. However, because those teas often require extra room for leaf expansion, a more specialized kyūsu may yield better results. For those who primarily enjoy such teas, we recommend exploring our Asamushi, Gyokuro, and Light-Steamed Teapots category.

Its drip-free spout allows for smooth, mess-free pouring, and the traditional right-handed side handle offers ergonomic comfort and balance.

Discover the Best Organic Gyokuro Green Tea: Haruto

Indulge in the exquisite taste of Haruto, the best organic gyokuro green tea. This new and rare variety of gyokuro green tea was registered only 8 years ago. Grown by a select few farms in Kyushu, our Haruto is cultivated in Shibushi City, Kagoshima Prefecture. This tea is harvested earlier in the season, making it susceptible to frost damage, which adds to its rarity and exceptional quality.

Why Choose Organic Gyokuro Haruto?

• Exclusive Rarity: With its limited cultivation and recent introduction, encountering Organic Gyokuro Haruto is a unique opportunity.
• Award-Winning Quality: This high-quality green tea has been recognized with awards in Japan for its elegant sweetness, rich umami, and dark green tea leaves.
• Organic Excellence: Unlike many organic gyokuro green teas, Haruto stands out with its superb quality, making it a rare gem in the tea world. Due to the restrictions on growing organic green teas, it's extremely difficult to find an organic gyokuro that tastes as good as non-organic gyokuro, but Haruto is one of the rare exceptions.

A Worthwhile Investment

While Organic Gyokuro Haruto may be priced higher than regular sencha, its exceptional quality and rarity justify the cost. Less than 1% of all green tea is grown and harvested as gyokuro, and an organic variety of this caliber is even more uncommon.

Brewing Perfection

Haruto, the best organic gyokuro green tea, offers complex, strong umami notes and a delightful aftertaste that lingers. For the best experience, brew it in a shiboridashi teapot with care, following our detailed brewing instructions: How to Brew Gyokuro - Step-by-Step Instructions!
