Bancha
A classic green tea from Japan caracterised by its minerality. Favoured among proponents of the macrobiotics diet and ideal in the evenings, this mild, alkaline tea is traditionally produced from a range of later harvests, including the coarse leaves of the rare kariban harvest, as well as the top-quality meban of the earlier intermediate harvest. Sourced directly from the farm in Japan and tested in a German laboratory.
Benifuuki
The Benifuuki cultivar is an assamica and sinensis hybrid that makes an incredibly potent green tea with a uniquely high content of catechins – namely EGCG and ECG, as well as the rare methylated catechins EGCG3''Me / -4''Me. Beneath the distinctively bitter taste of Benifuuki is a floral sweetness and a suggestion of black tea. Sourced directly from various tea farms in southern Japan and tested in a German laboratory.

Fukamushi Sencha
Fukamushi (深蒸し; deep steaming) is a special form of processing in which the leaves undergo an intensive, long-lasting steaming (over 60 seconds). This makes them particularly fine, almost powdery, and results in a much fuller, spicier and less astringent infusion than conventional sencha.

GABA Tea
GABA (γ-aminobutyric acid) is an important non-proteinogenic endogenous amino acid. GABA teas, appreciated by connoisseurs for their smooth, buttery taste, are naturally enriched with GABA through unique oxygen-free storage during production. We source these special teas directly from selected top farmers from either pesticide-free or certified organic farms. Since the GABA content can fluctuate with each batch, we test every delivery for GABA content and pollutants in our German laboratory and report accordingly.
Genmaicha
This green tea is a warming and highly aromatic classic. Blended with roasted rice, it is perfect for accompanying a meal, a cosy get-together with friends or for simply enjoying as a nourishing drink throughout the day. Depending on the variety, we use either high-quality organic rice or the particularly tasty Ise Hikari rice, as well as premium teas – our blends stand out from conventional genmaicha in terms of quality and taste due to our use of high-quality Meban bancha, sencha and matcha.
GOISHICHA
Fermented teas (hakkōcha 発酵茶) from Japan are a true rarity – even within Japan they are not typically known outside of the small area in which they are cultivated. Hakkōcha has a deep connection to the traditions of their respective regions and are only produced by very few tea farmers. Our double-fermented goishicha from Kōchi prefecture offers a completely novel and unique flavour experience, surprising the palate with its sour, fruity notes and woody fermentation aromas.
Green Tea Powder
Green tea powder, also called funmatsucha 粉末茶 in Japanese, is not only popular because of its convenience and intense, pure green tea taste: powdered tea preparations are also a higher source of nutrients and other bioactives than tea infusions, as the leaves aren't discarded after brewing.

Hojicha
Full-bodied, sweet and warming – green teas for colder days. Low in caffeine and mild due to slow and gentle roasting. We source all our hojichas directly from their respective farms. Lab tested.
Kabusecha
This semi-shaded green tea from Japan combines the umami and sweetness of gyokuro with the bitterness and complexity of sencha. We carry an upscale entry-level tea from Miyazaki, sweet and fruity with full umami; a rare Ureshino tamaryokucha with a particularly expressive body and delicate bitterness; an original Hoshino kabusecha from tea master Takaki, with maritime notes and deep, strong umami; as well as a top-quality tea with deep vegetal notes from the mountains of Shizuoka, particularly harmonious and produced by the organic purist Kinezuka.
Kamairicha
Rich in special tannins and polysaccharides, kamairicha is an oven-fired green tea with a sweet, nutty aroma, less bitterness and astringency than sencha and no grassiness. We source this tea directly from award-winning farms in Gokase and Ureshino, the two best regions for kamairicha in Japan.
Karigane Kukicha
A mild, slightly sweet green tea made mainly from stems and therefore relatively low in caffeine, karigane is nonetheless rich in umami/amino acids. Karigane teas are made from the stems of premium senchas or gyokuros, while kukichas are made from the stems of banchas or simple senchas. We offer classic sencha and gyokuro varieties, as well as fruity flavoured blends and delicately roasted kukicha, all sourced directly from leading tea farms in Japan and tested in a German lab.

Cold Brew Tea
Indulge in our selection of special green teas and accessories for making the perfect cold brew tea.

Sannen Bancha
A very alkaline green tea with special polysaccharides and a low caffeine content. The mildly sweet sannen bancha is closely related to bancha, but the leaves and stems are either gently matured (jukusei) or allowed to grow (koba) for a period of 3 years (san nen; 三年) before undergoing a nuanced roasting process. We offer rare organic sannen bancha from top Japanese farms, including the highly renowned, pioneering Miyazaki Sabo.
Sunrouge
Green and red Sunrouge teas, created by crossing C. taliensis with C. sinensis. These teas contain a large number of rare anthocyanins and catechins, which results in a bright red infusion. Sourced directly from Yuki Toyumura on the Pacific island of Tokunoshima, then tested in a German laboratory.
