Organic Mulberry Leaf Tea Shimane
The leaves are hand-picked in Shimane and lightly fired. This gives them a fine, warm flavour and a pleasant sweetness.
In the cup, the infusion has a golden colour reminiscent of honey and amber.
Depending on how it is prepared, the tea develops nuances of black tea, barley, popped amaranth or hojicha. A wealth of surprising flavours that invites you on a taste journey to the mist-shrouded mountains of Shimane.
Background
The leaves of mulberry trees are essential in silk production as they are the only source of food for silkworms. They were therefore also cultivated for silk production in Japan for a long time. Due to the advance of artificial fibres, many of the cultivation areas are now fallow. The realisation that mulberry leaves can also be very tasty and nutritious for us humans if processed correctly therefore came just in time to breathe new life into the mulberry groves.
Preparation
Pour 200ml of hot water (approx. 70°C) over 1 tsp of mulberry leaves and leave to infuse for 2 minutes.
A second infusion is possible, but will be significantly weaker.
Tip: Also try the mixture with green tea!

KEIKO Mulberry Leaf Tea Set
Two variants of mulberry leaf tea in a sample pack at a special price. The set contains 50g each of Kagoshima mulberry leaf tea and Shimane mulberry leaf tea. The dry leaves and the color of the infusion of the two varieties already give an idea of the differences: In Kagoshima, the mulberry leaves are processed using equipment that was formerly used for tea production. This gives the leaves and infusion a subtle sweetness and a soothing aroma reminiscent of lush early summer meadows, wheatgrass, nettles, and hemp. The infusion has an olive green color in the cup.In Shimane, the leaves are picked by hand and then dried a little more thoroughly. As a result, the leaves contain not only green but also slightly brownish leaf and stem parts, producing an amber-colored infusion with a wonderful, delicately toasty caramel aroma. In the cup, the infusion has a golden color reminiscent of honey and amber. Depending on how it is prepared, mulberry leaf tea from Shimane develops nuances of black tea, barley, popped amaranth, or hojicha. A wealth of surprising aromas that invite you on a taste journey to the mist-shrouded mountains of Shimane. Background The leaves of mulberry trees serve as a food source for silkworms and were therefore cultivated in Japan for a long time for silk production. Due to the advance of artificial fibers, many of the cultivation areas are now lying fallow. The realization that mulberry leaves, when processed correctly, can also be very tasty and nutritious for us humans came just at the right time to breathe new life into the mulberry groves.

Mulberry Leaf Powder - Organic
The mild and sweet aroma of mulberry leaves has a relaxing and soothing effect. The color, especially in powder form, is similar to matcha tea with its fresh light green hue. In terms of taste, the powder is reminiscent of a mild matcha with the slightly nutty note of nettle tea. It is not for nothing that the powder of ground mulberry leaves is popularly used in Japan for caffeine-free "matcha lattes". This may be attributed to the fact that the mulberry leaves are steamed and processed just as gently as Japanese green tea, which also preserves the sensitive ingredients in the best possible way.
Whipped up like matcha or matcha latte, it is an ideal caffeine-free and milder alternative or can be used as a complement to matcha for the evening.
Mulberry leaves do particularly well as a balancing component in more tart teas such as Benifuuki powder - here the sweet aroma creates a pleasant balance. With its wealth of active ingredients the powder also makes for a valuable addition to green smoothies.

Wakocha Kawanabe - Organic Japanese Black Tea
This exceptional black tea is obtained from the Benifuuki cultivar and derives its name from the Kawanabe (Chiran) region in Kagoshima, where Shimodozono Biofarm is located.
The cultivar gives the tea a fragrance reminiscent of vineyard peach and jasmine, while the tart flavours that characterize this variety as a green tea fade into the background due to the oxidation. It enchants with a fine-scented, amber-coloured cup and striking, elegant taste.

Hojicha - Organic Japanese Green Tea
Hojicha (or: Houjicha) is a roasted green tea. The name is composed of the word 'hojiru' for 'toast' and the 'cha' for 'tea'. With a Horoku tea roaster you can even roast your own hojicha from your favourite green tea. KEIKO Hojicha is made from Kabusecha of the 1st and 2nd picking.
Hojicha is probably the only green tea that has the right to have a red-brown cup colour. What otherwise indicates a lack of quality is in this case desired.
Hochija is a great companion in both the cold and warm seasons.
With its warm, mild and nut-like roasting aromas, a hot Hojicha is just right to warm up after a long winter walk.
In Japan, Hojicha is often drunk with the whole family at dinner. But it is also great in the summer as a cold refreshment when you are out and about, doing sports or just to accompany your meals.
Storage
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 cool and dark - ideally in your refrigerator or freezer.

Teapot "Kobashi", Banko Yaki, 480 ml
The shape of classic Western teapots was taken up and adapted to the special requirements of green teas in the production of this pot. The result is an elegant Banko-Yaki pot that combines Western and Eastern tea traditions.The tea leaves can unfold freely in the pot, which is quite generous at 480ml, and are retained in the pot by an integrated strainer before the spout during brewing. The leaves remain in the pot and are then simply briefly brewed again with water for further infusions.
Special featuresAt Fujiso Manufactory, the holes in the clay strainer in front of the beak-like spout are poked by hand. This skill is still mastered by only a few masters in Japan - there are only 3 artists left who make such sieves in Japan. Clay screens of this type are particularly well suited for slightly larger leaf material. These include medium-strong or only lightly steamed teas such as Gyokuro, Shincha Yakushima, Hojicha, Oolong and other specialties. The tall shape of the pot is particularly well suited to teas with a higher infusion temperature (such as benifuuki, hojicha, oolong and kocha) and promotes the development of aroma and fragrance.The handle and spout are shaped so that the pot fits comfortably in the hand and the tea can be poured without dripping. The notches on the lid ensure a smooth flow when pouring by improving air exchange.On the outside, the reddish-brown clay typical of the Banko-Yaki style is unglazed, while a light, pale green glaze has been applied to the inside. This glaze was specially developed to facilitate cleaning and to allow the aroma of the prepared teas to develop without external influences and not to settle in the porous clay. Thus, the pot can be used for alternating teas with intense aroma without it lingering on the next tea.
Filling capacity450ml, for 1-5 personsThe filling quantity of the pot should be chosen so that the tea can be completely distributed to the ready cup(s) and no water remains in the pot between infusions.The filling quantities are measured to the rim - the actual amount in daily use is slightly smaller.
DeviationsPlease note that the shape, color and size of tea ceramics may vary slightly!This is especially true for teapots, which are all at least partially handmade.CleaningTo clean the teapot after everyday use, simply tap the teapot against your palm to loosen the tea and shake it out. Rinse well with clear water, also through the strainer. If the strainer has become clogged after longer use, you will find instructions here on how to care for and clean your teapot - for undiminished tea enjoyment: Cleaning instructions

Kyusu-teapot "Shiko" small, Banko-Yaki, 350 ml
This Banko Yaki kyusu combines the centuries-old tradition of kyusu making in Yokkaichi with modern demands on design and handling. Japanese kyusu side handle teapots are ideal for brewing green tea. The tea leaves can unfold freely in the pot and are retained by an integrated strainer in front of the spout during brewing. The leaves remain in the pot and are then simply brewed again briefly with water for further infusions.

These include medium-strong or only lightly steamed teas such as Gyokuro, Shincha Yakushima, Hojicha, Oolong and other specialties. In the case of intensely steamed tea (fukamushi cha), the fine leaves may get stuck in the holes.
