Soshun - Organic Japanese Green Tea

Dosage 1 tsp (level to heaped)

Water temperature 55-70°

Infusions 4

Brewing time 30-60 sec

Suitable for cold brew

Soshun, "early spring" is from early first picking in the middle to end of April. It has a wonderfully rich, complex and sweet fragrance and a velvety harmonious taste. The cup is a luminous green. This tea is an unforgettable pleasure not only for connoisseurs.

Kabusecha

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".

Fukamushicha

Like many KEIKO teas, this is an intensively steamed tea (Fukamushi-cha, 100 - 120 seconds steaming time). Due to the gentle steaming process, the leaf pores open and the extracts from the tea leaf reach the water more easily and quickly. This can be recognized by the deep green tea colour in the cup and the yield of the tea - with top qualities up to 4 infusions are possible!

Cold Brew

Intensively steamed early pickings are also particularly suitable for cold infusions (Mizudashi or Cold Brew). By infusing the leaves with cold water you will get an intensive and refreshing tea after only a few minutes. Since the bitter substances do not dissolve as strongly in cold water, the sweet aromas of the Kabusecha are especially noticeable.

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.

Ingredients:	100%Kabusecha(green tea) from certified organic cultivation
Origin:	Japan -Kagoshima
Degree of steaming:	Fukamushi- deeply steamed
Dregree of shading:	Half shade (7 - 10 days)

Green tea preparation

Prepare

Provide one cup with a capacity of 80 to 100 ml per person. Depending on the variety, let the boiled water cool down to 80° to 60°C. To do so, pour the water into a cooling bowl or directly into the cups to cool, which also pre-warms them.

Dose

Add one level teaspoon of tea per person into a clay teapot. Pour one cup of water per person over the leaves. Let the first infusion steep for a maximum of 30 to 60 seconds.

Pour

If the tea is served to several people, first pour only a little tea into each cup and then top them up in reverse order. This way the tea is equally strong in all cups. The pouring motion gradually gives the tea its proper green colour. Also pour out the last “golden” drops to prevent the tea from over-steeping.

Enjoy

Serve the tea fresh. In Japan, a small sweet is often served with the unsweetened tea. For further infusions, pour water over the tea leaves again. Let it steep for only about 15 seconds, as the leaf has already expanded and releases its ingredients more quickly. Serve promptly all round.

Eine gute Entscheidung

Ich kenne KEIKO nun schon seit Jahren. Anfangs durch Zufall auf diesen Tee gestoßen und vom ersten Schluck an begeistert. Natürlich habe ich auch hier und da rumprobiert, die Tees von KEIKO blieben immer mein Referenzpunkt, wenn es um Geschmack, Farbe und Qualität ging. Fazit: es macht mich glücklich und zufrieden , eine Tasse Tee von euch zu trinken.

Cold brewer "ooika"

Item No. 42200 The Ooika- Cold brewer for the preparation of drip tea can be used with hot OR cold water. However, it is ideal especially for cold brew green tea highlighting the rich yet sweet green fragrance of high quality Kabusecha, known amongst tea-connoisseurs as Ooika. The Cold brewer consists of two glass vessels which are connected with a rubber base with a small opening, which lets the water drip into the stainless steel strainer underneath and then into the lower vessel. To prepare your cold drip Green Tea measure 2-3 teaspoons of tea into the sieve (make sure the tea covers the bottom of the strainer evenly) and fill the upper vessel with 600 to 900ml of water. You can also use ice cubes to make a Kouridashi-brew, either letting them melt slowly to drip over the tea or just add them to your tea once its ready. The preparation takes between 25 and 45 minutes. You can adjust the speed by pushing the little knob deeper into the rubber base to slow the water flow or pulling it back out to speed it up. Best suited for this type of preparation is deep steamed (fukamushi) Kabusecha from an early picking, as these will best release the aroma and all the valuable ingredients of the tea but also the least astringency. Our Tip: Serve the cold drip tea in wine-glasses to surprise your dinner guests with a tasty refreshing alternative to alcohol!

Shincha Classic 2026 - Organic Japanese Green Tea

The Yutaka Midori cultivar gives Shincha Classic its distinctive fresh, green aroma and rich colour. The combination with a share of the exquisite Sae Midori cultivar results in a full-bodied, mellow flavour with subtle umami, a hint of fruitiness and a gentle astringency. Special features Shincha - the ‘new tea’ heralds the start of the tea year every spring. The first tea from the fine, particularly aromatic leaf tips, which are harvested in the subtropical climate of Kagoshima as early as mid-April.  In order to capture the fresh flavour in the best possible way, shincha is dried a little more lightly in the final processing stage than is usual for sencha. Cultivars:80% Yutaka Midori from the KEIKO Organic Farm in Kawanabe (Chiran) and from the Komaki brothers (Minami-Satsuma) 20% Sae Midori from the Komaki brothers (Minami Satsuma)Early harvests such as Shincha Classic also have a particularly high theanine content, which is noticeable in the sweet flavour. Preparation We recommend an infusion temperature of around 60-65°C. Allow the first infusion to infuse for about 1 minute. A few seconds are then enough to extract the flavour from the leaves. For the last infusion, you can increase the infusion time again to tease out all the flavour. If the tea still turns out stronger than desired, the flavour intensity can be slightly adjusted by adding a little more water. Deep steamed early harvests are particularly suitable for cold infusions (mizudashi). Even with cold water, Shincha Classic develops a particularly silky texture and a refreshing clarity of flavour after just 5 minutes of infusion. The sweet theanine notes also come into their own particularly well, as the bitter substances do not dissolve as much in cold water.Storage To preserve the tea's valuable flavours and ingredients as much as possible, please close the bag tightly and store it in a cool, dark place in the fridge or freezer.
