Green tea is made from Camellia Sinensis leaves that have not undergone the same withering and oxidation process used to make oolong and black tea.
Chinese harvesters pan fry the leaves in a large wok while Japanese green teas are steamed, dried naturally, and then rolled into various shapes until they are completely dry.
The traditional tea ceremony is a symbol of peace, harmony and happiness. It demonstrates respect through etiquette and grace.
We recommend consuming our teas within the stated ‘Best Before’ date indicated on your Roji box.
We suggest that you start with Sencha, the most produced and consumed tea in Japan.
They are sourced from Shizuoka Prefecture, Asahina in Shizuoka Prefecture and Kagoshima Prefecture.
No, there is no radioactivity present. We take the necessary precautions to ensure that the tea is safe for consumption.
Japanese tea is good to prevent physical deterioration, high blood pressure, obesity, diabetes, and cancer. It also protects you from catching colds, viral infections, cavities and allergies and keeps your skin glowing and beautiful.
Drinking Japanese green tea regularly can increase your metabolism and help burn fat safely and naturally.
A bowl of matcha has about 35mg of caffeine whereas a cup of espresso coffee provides 60mg.
It varies from person to person but research recommends 2 to 5 cups per day.
Catechin contained in Japanese tea helps to remove free radicals (activated oxygen) and improves our immune system and general health condition.
All Japanese green tea contains Catechin and Sencha contains the highest levels of Catechin.
Matcha literally means "powdered tea." The actual leaves have been finely powdered and made into a solution, traditionally by mixing about a teaspoon of matcha powder with a third cup of hot water and whisked with a bamboo brush until it froths.
Ceremonial grade matcha is the highest quality green tea powder available. This premium grade is vibrant green in color, with a delicate taste and extremely fine texture.
Matcha and sencha both undergo a different process. Sencha is grown in in the full sun, while matcha is grown in the shade.
You can simply wash with the dish soap and rinse it thoroughly with purified water.
Fill a bowl half-full of clean water, rotate the whisk and then rinse it gently with clean water. If you use the whisk twice everyday, your whisk should last 2 to 3 months.
Good water, the correct amount of tea, an accurate steeping time, and a proper teapot are important.
We recommend soft water with fewer minerals e.g. bottled spring water.
It is best to store your loose tea in an air-tight container, kept away from direct sunlight in a cool and dry environment.
The tea ingredients decreases gradually from the 1st to the 3rd. The 3rd infusion has almost nothing of the ingredients.
Normally, it lasts about 12 hours when refrigerated.
