Sencha: Sencha is famous for its characteristic umami taste. The combination of fresh, grassy and slightly sweet aromas combined with a mild, slightly bitter taste and its unmistakably aromatic scent make it a favorite of many tea lovers.

Hojicha: Hojicha is carefully roasted over charcoal in special Hojicha roasters. This results in a fine roasted aroma with flavor nuances of nuts, caramel and malty-sweet aromas. The typically spicy Hojicha taste impresses with its unique umami. Hojicha contains little caffeine, is therefore very digestible even in the evening and tastes great as a cold drink.

Genmaicha: This extraordinary type of tea is a creation of bancha and roasted brown rice. This results in a taste experience of fresh, mild and slightly grassy bancha aroma, which is refined by the nutty, smoky, slightly malty note of the roasted natural rice. Genmaicha has a lower caffeine content, tastes particularly mild, is digestible and has a calming effect.

How to: Kukicha is made from nutrient-rich leaf stems & ribs of the highest quality Senchas & Banchas, which have less caffeine and bitter substances than tea leaves. It has a mild, delicate character with slightly sweet and slightly nutty notes as well as a nice umami taste. Particularly suitable for green tea beginners, as it retains its mild aroma even with longer steeping times and hotter water.

Cold Brew: Cold Brew is a traditional Japanese cold brewing method (Mizudashi) using cold water. In contrast to hot tea infusion, cold-infused tea, with its long brewing time, dissolves many more aromatic substances in the water. This creates a particularly multi-faceted variety of aromas.
