High quality tea bags, convenient for office and on the go. Soshun is a Kabusecha, semi-shaded tea from controlled organic cultivation in Kagoshima. It is harvested in the pre-picking period, around mid-April. The tea leaves were deeply stemmed (Fukamushi). Drying at slightly elevated temperatures gives Soshun a velvety, harmonious, multi-layered flavor. In the cup it is bright green. Its fragrance is subtly sweet, fresh and rich. Soshun is excellent for both hot and cold infusion (mizudashi). Even with cold water, you will get an intense, refreshing tea after a few minutes. The sweetish aromas of Kabusecha are particularly evident. To preserve the valuable flavors and ingredients of the tea in the best possible way, please close the bag or tea tin well and store in a cool and dark place.

Manufacturer data

"KEIKO Soshun, Kabuse Sencha organic, tea bag"

Keiko - shaded organic tea from Kagoshima

Kagoshima is located in the south of Japan. The climate is subtropical and the soils are volcanic. All the Japanese Keiko teas we carry are grown in this region on an organic farm. And all the teas are shaded, resulting in a smaller harvest but much higher quality. The shading with nets provides the tea bushes with growing conditions very close to those of a wild tea bush. The tea called kabusecha - kabuse are the nets used for shading - grows more slowly, forms more natural flavors and active ingredients and is particularly aromatic. After plucking, the tea leaves are steamed, cooled, rolled and dried as is customary in Japan. The airtight packaging of keiko teas is done under a protective atmosphere, so that the flavors and active ingredients are optimally preserved.

Organic quality and gentle processing for optimal enjoyment

The Shimodozono Organic Farm, origin of Keiko teas, was the first tea garden in Japan to be audited and successfully certified under the EC Organic Regulation. In addition, all KEIKO products are tested by independent laboratories in Germany for undesirable pesticides and for radiation levels - always with the best results. This is an ideal basis for very high but also healthy enjoyment. Another quality feature is the production of the tea, which should preserve and protect all valuable ingredients. Keiko teas are steamed by an optimized method to open all leaf pores. The entire complex of active ingredients as well as the fine aroma components are thus already available after a short brewing time. An exception is Houjicha, which is gently roasted to develop its special characteristics. In order to optimally protect the teas, which are rich in vital substances, from oyidation by oxygen, they are packed in airtight fresh packaging. The full enjoyment of these top teas is obtained when ideally soft, possibly filtered water is used. You can enhance the taste by using a real Japanese water kettle (tetsubin) and brewing the tea in a Japanese clay teapot (Kyusu). Please follow the recommendation for infusion time and water temperature. Feel free, however, to vary both to find out the best combination for your taste.

Review Information

Keiko

Keiko Tee von Shimodozono Co. Ltd., Kagoshima City

Our Japanese tea supplier is located on the Kagoshima Peninsula in the southern part of Japan. In a subtropical climate, with volcanic soils, our tea varieties are cultivated on an organic farm. All Keiko teas are shaded with nets - this ensures higher quality despite lower yields. The valuable plants grow more slowly due to the shading, but also produce more active ingredients and flavor compounds, resulting in significantly more aromatic teas. The typical processing of tea leaves in Japan involves steaming, cooling, rolling, drying, and then vacuum-sealing under a protective atmosphere.

Optimal enjoyment in organic quality

Did you know that the Shimodozono Organic Farm in Japan was the first to be certified according to EU organic regulations? Furthermore, Keiko teas in Germany are tested by independent laboratories for radiation levels and unwanted pesticides, yielding excellent results. This provides the best foundation for healthy and high-quality tea enjoyment.
