To avoid long transport routes and the associated loss of quality, KEIKO Matcha is freshly ground on site in Diepholz on original Japanese granite stone Tencha mills. For maximum flavour and active ingredients!
Japanese green tea in premium quality from controlled organic cultivation - this has been our premise since 1992.
Whether powder or leaf, classic or ‘something different’ - KEIKO teas are all grown in organic quality in the south of Japan in Kagoshima. On the company's own organic farm (left) or from long-standing partners in the Kagoshima region.
Quality and sustainability always take centre stage for us.
Seasonal recommendations
And just like that it's autumn again! Enjoy a warming cup of tea, from our deep steamend first flush green teas!
Sae Tezumi is made from the award winning cultivar Sae Midori using only the best leaves carefully selected and picked by hand. The result is a wonderfully clear, lively tea with a fresh sweetness, a light green cup and a slight aroma of fresh pine needles in spring. The harvest by hand also entails a smaller harvest amount - so get your share now, stocks are limited! Kabusecha is a green tea for which the tea plants are shaded, thus forming a high content of chlorophyll and other active ingredients and at the same time little bitter substances. Their characteristic "shade aroma" is called "ooika".
<h3>Preparation</h3>
For the hot infusion of Sae Tezumi , we recommend an infusion temperature of 65°C and a brewing time of 70 seconds for the first infusion. For the second infusion, a shorter infusion time of about 30 seconds is sufficient, you can then let the last infusion steep a little longer again (70 sec) to bring out the full flavor.
The Sae Tezumi is a normal steamed tea (Chumushi) and also suitable for cold infusions (Mizudashi). Infusing this tea with cold water will take a little longer than for Fukamushi tea but creates a slightly sweet, light taste and a light green colour. Simply steep the tea leaves for about 7-10 minutes. Since the bitter substances do not dissolve as strongly in cold water, the sweet aromas of the Kabusecha are especially noticeable. In order to preserve the precious flavours and ingredients of the tea as best as possible, we recommend to seal the bag well and store it in a cool and dark place in the refrigerator or freezer.
Mulberry leaf tea is mildly sweet in aroma and has a relaxing and soothing effect. It is ideal as a caffeine-free alternative to green tea for the evening.

When it is getting colder outside, it is nice to have something warmer in the cup. Intensely fired green teas with their warm variety of flavours are particularly suitable.
