Karigane Superior
Karigane tea is a tea made out of the stems and veins of the tea leaves and is a by-product of making Gyokuro and Sencha. However, this “by-product” is nothing to mock. The stems , and Theanin is the amino acid that adds the aroma, the sweet flavor, and the calming effect of tea. In short, stems are a gold mine for all of the healthy goodness that is included in great Sencha.
High Quality Karigane Tea
Our superior grade Karigane is made from high quality Sencha stems, and contains a beautiful bitter and sweet balance (leaning heavy on the sweet side).
This is an everyday tea, and is a favorite amongst those who like the tanginess of Sencha, but love the sweetness of Gyokuro. Highly recommended for those who value great value, taste-wise and price wise.
