$12.96 / 100 g
Tea stems blended with green tea from Kyoto, Japan
Karigane tea (or kukicha) made of tea leaves and tea stems mixed together. It contains more vitamin C than other types of green tea and has a mildly bitter, slightly creamy taste. Uji Karigane is made of Sencha, when the tea bushes are exposed to direct sunlight, that is why its taste has characteristic refreshing flavor with a nice ‘green’ aftertaste.
Origin: Yamashiro tea reagion, southern part of Kyoto Prefecture
Cultivar: Ujimidori

This is such a versatile green tea. My favorite way to drink it now is to first steep the leaves as directed and enjoy as hot tea. Then for additional steeps, use cold water for a pleasant and refreshing brew.
