Unique Green Teas
There are many types of Japanese green tea and each tea has its own unique character. These teas were developed over many years and reflect the different cultural regions of Japan and each tea has drinkers who are passionate about the flavor. This month, we are re-introducing two unique green teas - Guricha and Yuzu Kukicha with Matcha.
Guricha
Guricha is different from Sencha both in appearance and taste. This tea benefits from a specific manufacturing process that creates a tea similar in appearance to the pan-fired teas of China. Guricha is steamed and fashioned into "comma" shaped leaves by omitting the final kneading process. We recommend Guricha for those who like Sencha’s taste but may think Sencha is a bit strong. Consequently, we say Guricha is a milder version Sencha.
Did you know that Guricha was once exported to Russia?

Yuzu Kukicha with Matcha
Our exclusive seasonal tea, Yuzu Kukicha with Matcha, is now available. It is made with first flush Kukicha, dried Yuzu chips, and a hint of Matcha. Since Yuzu, a Japanese fruit, is usually available only in the winter in Japan, we are stocking this tea only for a few months. When our inventory is depleted it won’t be available again until next year.
Yuzu is a traditional Japanese citrus, used almost exclusively for its aromatic rind. Yuzu is about the size of a tangerine and has an aroma that is distinct from lemons, limes, or any other Western citrus fruit. It is rarely eaten as a fruit. In Japanese cuisine its aromatic zest (outer rind) is used to garnish some dishes, and its juice is commonly used as a seasoning, somewhat like the way lemon is used in other cuisines. If you are familiar with Japanese cuisine, you will remember its distinct fragrance.
Our Yuzu Kukicha with Matcha is also available in a gift can.
