Ohmi Kabuse Karigane

Tea stems blended with rich tasting green tea from Shiga prefecture

Karigane tea (or kukicha) is made of tea leaves and tea stems together. It contains more vitamin C than other types of green tea and has a savory, mellow taste.
This Ohmi Kabuse Karigane is made of Ohmi Kabusecha, Saemidori (kabusecha means 'shaded tea'). The tea bushes are shaded from direct sunlight for 18-20 days. Thanks to this process it has a rich taste with a very pleasant sweet aftertaste.

Rich and flavorful with a bit of a bite, presumably from the stems, results in 2 contrasting qualities, making this a very interesting tea You get a lot of quality at a very reasonable price. By far the best karigane I've tried. I haven't tried many because I never had one I would buy a second time but I would definitely buy this one again. Thanks Sazen!

A very mellow and grassy tea. The aroma is reminiscent of roasted vegetables and it has a pleasant aftertaste. I think this may be my new favorite tea.

This tea came to me as a small gift from Sazen and I immediately fell in love with it, so I decided to order a 200 g bag of this wonderful tea. Pleasant flavour, beautiful colour
