"Sencha Kariban, Organic, 1st Flush, Premium"
Sencha Kariban, Organic
Sencha is the most widely drunk green tea in Japan. Over 70% of the green tea grown in Japan is Sencha. The qualities of Senchas on the market are very broad and range from quite plain to very high quality. Our Sencha Kariban is a light, mild Sencha with a flowery aroma. It comes from the southern island of Japan Kyushu, more precisely from the area around Kirishima in Kagoshima Prefecture. Kirishima is also the name of a mountain in the prefecture, a volcanic mountain. Volcanic soil, together with the subtropical climate, the many hours of sunshine, but also the fog, make up the special conditions that can produce such beautiful teas as this Sencha. The tea fields are located - very idyllic - in the mountains of Kirishima, about 600 meters above sea level. Here, in a small organic tea garden, grow the cultivars of our Sencha: Yabukita, Okumidori and Okuyutaka. Yabukita is a very popular cultivar in Japan, although it is quite delicate and organic farmers have to take great care of it. But it yields a lot of umami, which makes it worth almost any effort. The yields of the Cultivar Okumidori are mostly preferred only for Tencha, the green tea for Matcha, and Gyokuro. So for Sencha, it is an erles choice. In contrast, Okuyutaka is a typical Sencha cultivar. This high-quality selection of cultivars, the restriction to the leaves of the first harvest and the careful processing make Kariban an excellent green tea for every day and a very good companion for good food.
How does the organic Sencha Kariban taste
?
The umami of this sencha is not so dominant, it rather emphasizes the mildness and floral aroma. Astringency is foreign to the Kariban, a slight noble bitterness can be guessed and makes the taste a bit more crisp. Overall, this tea is a refreshing, flavorful green tea experience, a restrained yet present companion to food.
Bio-Sencha Cariban and Your Health
Generally, high quality senchas are considered the best variety in terms of their general health benefits. Organic Sencha Kariban, grown in a biologically correct and controlled way, has a high content of catechins and antioxidants. The shading enriches especially amino acids, fatty acids and the chlorophyll, as well as various minerals. which also provide the balanced taste. The high content of L-theanine has a stimulating effect, making this tea a very healthy alternative to many a more aggressive pick-me-up. As far as health-promoting ingredients are concerned, Sencha is the most well-balanced of all tea varieties, hence its broad effect: metabolism, cardiovascular system, intestinal functions and also memory performance can benefit noticeably. But this excellent green tea also has an anti-inflammatory effect. To get the full benefit of this very good Sencha, you should ideally use soft, if necessary filtered water. You can achieve an increase in taste if you boil the water in a genuine Japanese cast iron kettle - for the sake of your health, pay attention to the quality - and prepare the tea in a Japanese teapot made of clay or cast iron (Kyusu).
