"Diese wunderbare Bitterkeit" von Christoph Peters

"Diese wunderbare Bitterkeit" von Christoph Peters
Christoph Peters erzählt von seinem Werdegang als Tee-Enthusiast. Von den ersten Begegnungen mit dem Kräutertee aus dem gut abgelagerten Teebeutel in der letzten Ecke des Küchenschranks mit dem in der Kindheit die Magenschmerzen kuriert werden sollten über Tee als eine Art Statussymbol in der Internatszeit und kulinarische Reiseerfahrungen kommt Peters schließlich im Rahmen von Recherchen für sein Buch Mitsukos Restaurant nicht umhin, sich genauer mit der japanischem Teezeremonie zu beschäftigen. Mit bemerkenswerter Beharrlichkeit und viel Hingabe nähert er sich diesem so fremden Ritual und beschreibt auf entspannte Art mit viel Hintergrundwissen und einem Augenzwinkern seine Erfahrungen mit dieser wunderbaren Bitterkeit.

Teefreunde werden sich wohl in der einen oder anderen Situation wiedererkennen und sich ein Schmunzeln kaum verkneifen können...ein Buch, dass Lust macht auf Tee!

Shincha Yume 2025 - Organic Japanese Green Tea

Average rating of 4.8 out of 5 stars

Shincha Yume 2025 - Organic Japanese Green Tea
A harmonious, multi-layered tea with a velvet-like soft texture, that develops into a fruity sweetness on the tongue. Enjoy thedream flavour of the Yume Kaori cultivar of this single origin, single cultivar Shincha! 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 lighter than usual for sencha in the final processing stage, giving the teas a special freshness that seems particularly pronounced in Shincha Yume. Cultivars: 100% Yume Kaori from the KEIKO organic farm in Kawanabe (Chiran)Kabusecha is a green tea produced by shading the tea plants for a period of 7-10 days before harvesting, which results in a high content of chlorophyll and other active ingredients and a low level of bitterness. Their characteristic ‘shade flavour’ is called ‘ooika’. Early harvests such as Shincha Yume also have a particularly high theanine content, which is noticeable in the sweet flavour. Preparation We recommend an infusion temperature of around 60°C for a particularly round, flowery flavour. Leave 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 Yume 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.

Supreme - Organic Japanese Matcha

Average rating of 4.9 out of 5 stars

Supreme - Organic Japanese Matcha
**Please note that due to high demand, there may currently be longer waiting times. For urgent orders, please select items marked with a green dot noted as “available.”**The Matcha Supreme is our mildest and yet most aromatic Matcha and is ideal for both connoisseurs and new discoverers of Matcha. It has a very intense colour and a complex scent. Matcha Supreme is characterized by its smooth, almost creamy taste and its intense yet mild aftertaste. Matcha Supreme is perfectly suited for the thick preparation as Koicha but is also a pleasure as Usucha. Genuine Japanese Matcha freshly ground in Germany The tea plants from which Matcha is made are traditionally 90% shaded. The plants develop a lot of chlorophyll, theanine and caffeine, but slightly fewer bitter substances. After steaming & drying the tea leaves, the leaf tissue is separated from the leaf veins. The delicate, flake-like leaf tissue particles are called "Tencha" and are later very slowly ground into high-quality Matcha on traditional granite stone mills. In order to preserve the sensitive ingredients in the best possible way, we at KEIKO grind the Matcha on genuine Japanese granite stone mills directly at our location in Diepholz, fresh when required. Did you know that traditional Matcha develops uniquely fine aromas, from mild and nut-like to intensive and grassy thanks to the elaborate production techniques? Storage In order to preserve the precious aromas and ingredients of Matcha in the best possible way, we recommend to seal the Matcha well and store it in a cool and dark place.

Gyokuro Chidori- Organic Japanese Green Tea

Average rating of 5 out of 5 stars

Gyokuro Chidori- Organic Japanese Green Tea
Chidori = Japanese for ‘plover’ Enjoy a gyokuro with dark, silky, needle-shaped leaves, offering fresh green Ooika aromas and a harmonious balance of delicate fruity spice and refined sweetness. The tea from the Yabukita cultivar is grown in the highlands of Kagoshima, and the tea bushes are harvested only once a year at the beginning of May. In two stages, the tea plants are shaded for a total of three weeks before harvesting and only lightly steamed (Asamushi). Gyokuro  Organically grown gyokuro is a rarity, as the tea plants are particularly susceptible to pests due to the heavy shading. Extreme care and a great deal of experience are therefore essential for cultivation. However, the effort is rewarded with a very distinctive, complex aroma. Gyokuro is often described as the master class of Japanese green tea cultivation. Preparation The classic method: Gyokuro is traditionally prepared very intensively with 6-7g of tea leaves per 100ml, water heated to 40-55°C and a steeping time of approx. 2 minutes. This produces a tea with an incredibly dense, full-bodied aroma and a very pronounced sweetness. Our recommendation: For a full but slightly lighter aroma, use 3-4g of tea leaves (a heaped teaspoon) per 100ml, water at 55-60°C and a steeping time of approx. 1.5 minutes. The second infusion then only steeps for approx. 30 to 45 seconds at 60°C. For the third infusion, the steeping time can be extended to one minute. Tip: Try a cold brew!The sweet aromas are particularly pronounced in cold infusions. To make a cold brew, add 3-4g of tea leaves to 100ml of cold water and steep for at least 5 minutes. In warm weather, you can also replace some of the cold water with ice cubes and serve in a wine or champagne glass. Storage To best preserve the valuable aromas and ingredients of the tea, please seal the bag tightly and store in a cool, dark place.

Mantoku - Organic Japanese Matcha
**Please note that due to high demand, there may currently be longer waiting times. For urgent orders, please select items marked with a green dot noted as “available.”** Matcha Mantoku is a true rarity of the tea world. It is slightly more fired than usual and therefore has a very complex taste with a warm, velvety and nut-like flavor. Intense but almost without bitterness. It is not only suitable for the light Matcha (Usucha), but, due to its mild aroma, also for the thick preparation (Koicha).

Gyokuro Tonbo - Organic Japanese Green Tea

Gyokuro Tonbo - Organic Japanese Green Tea
