Explore the robust qualities of Kagoshima Organic Sencha "Kurasawa", meticulously grown in the organic fields of Kirishima, Kagoshima. This light-steamed sencha boasts an intense green-yellow hue and a fresh, grassy aroma, making it a standout selection for green tea enthusiasts.
Distinctive in its composition, Kurasawa contains approximately 1.5 to 2 times the catechins found in regular sencha, offering a potent source of these beneficial antioxidants. This high catechin content adds a notably astringent quality to the tea, so it's recommended to brew it at lower temperatures to fully appreciate its depth without overwhelming bitterness.
Ideal for those seeking the health benefits of green tea, "Kurasawa" is not only healthful but also delicious when brewed correctly. We believe in the exceptional quality of this tea and are confident it will become a cherished part of your tea collection.
As with all our teas, it is packaged in nitrogen-flushed bags to ensure it reaches you with its freshness and flavor intact.
Each package contains 100 grams of Kagoshima Organic Sencha "Kurasawa," ready to enhance your wellness regimen with its superior taste and health properties.
The current product was harvested last April. The product will keep for weeks or months if the package hasn't been opened and it's stored under refrigeration. If it's been opened, then for a few weeks.
Probably not ideal for cold brew but good question, I've never tried it with this one.
Yes, as of the date of this writing and for about a month, this is shincha.
Unfortunately we just ran out of stock on that and we won't have it in again until the 2019 harvest. It was super popular.
Our current version from 2018 is light steamed.
