Japan

Japan produces only green tea, most of which is consumed by the Japanese themselves. What little escapes the island varies greatly in quality but at its best it has the most exquisitely sweet, fresh flavour and strong aroma.

Product Name	Price-	Weight
Gyokuro Kimi Ga Yo	£50.00	100g
This tea, Kimi Ga Yo, which means 'Ruler of the World', is one of Japan's very best Gyokuro teas. The tea bushes from which Gyokuro is made are shaded for a month before picking. This has the effect of increasing the Chlorophyll levels in the tea and gives Gyokuro its distinctive character. It is an organically produced tea, which is very rare in Japan. It has fine, feathery leaves of an emerald green hue. It has an intense flavour and beautiful, lemon green infusion. The tea is so full of essential tea oils that the infusion is cloudy, as the oils emulsify in the water.
'Sweet Buddha's Tea' Amacha	£36.00	100g
Surprisingly, this is not a real 'tea' but a relative of the Hydrangea plant! It contains vitamins C, E, Beta Carotene, potent antioxidants and phyllodulcin. It is this which gives it an incredibly sweet taste, 400 times sweeter than sugar with virtually no calories. It can be drunk on its own but of course can be used sparingly as a sweetener for other teas. Add a little to one of our fruit infusions and it makes a really healthy alternative to soft drinks for children.
Gyokuro Hiki 'Pearl Dew'	£30.00	100g
A work of art! It takes 30 workers one day to pick a kilo of this prized tea. It is shaded with rice straw for 20 days to increase the chlorophyll and theanine content, increasing it's sweet taste.

This famous powdered ceremonial tea, takes one hour to mill just 40 grams. It can also be used to make cakes or biscuits, or simply sprinkled on ice cream! It is made using organic tea.
Fuji Sencha Finest	£16.70	100g
The lustrous green of the leaf, rich fragrance and sweet flavour are characteristics of this high quality Sencha which is a special blend of teas grown around the foothills of Mt.Fuji and Kureshina. It has much in common with the illustrious Gyokuro tea from Japan, in that it is also shaded with black cloth for a part of its cultivation to increase the chlorophyll content. It is one of, if not the most distinctive of all Japanese Sencha teas.
Sencha Fukujyu	£5.30	100g
