Tenko - Organic Japanese Green Tea

Tenko - Organic Japanese Green Tea

Dosage 1 TL (gestr.-geh.)

Temperature 123 55-70°

Infusions 4

Brewing time 30-60 sek

Cold infusions

Tenko, "gift from heaven", a half shaded green tea from the early first picking at the end of April has, like Tenbu Fuka and Soshun, this special "recurring taste" that stays on the tongue for a long time. Tenko is jade green in the cup. A rich, fruity-fresh fragrance and a characterful, mild and nut-like taste are characteristic of this tea. 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.

Green tea preparation instructions

Grüntee Zubereitung

Prepare

Prepare a cup for each person that has a capacity of 80 to 100 ml. Allow the boiled water to cool to 80° to 60°C, depending on the type. To do this, either put the water in a cooling bowl or pour it directly into the cups to cool, which will also preheat them.

Grüntee Zubereitung

Dose

Put a level teaspoon of tea per person into a clay pot. Pour one cup of water per person over the leaves. Allow the first infusion to brew for a maximum of 30 to 60 seconds.

Grüntee Zubereitung

Pour

If the tea is to be served to several people, first pour a little tea into each cup and then fill the cups in reverse order. This way, the tea will be the same strength in all cups. The pouring movements gradually give the tea the right green color. Pour out the last "golden" drops and prevent the tea from brewing any further.

Grüntee Zubereitung

Enjoy

Serve the tea fresh. In Japan, a small sweet treat is often served with unsweetened tea. For further infusions, pour water over the tea leaves again. Only allow to steep for about 15 seconds, as the leaf has already swollen and the ingredients are released more quickly. Distribute quickly all around.

42200-Cold-brewer-ooika
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!

Kyusu teapot, black with floral pattern and mesh sieve
Kyusu teapot, black with floral pattern and mesh sieve
Black kyusu with a finely textured surface. The incised leaf decoration is emphasised by the light clay-coloured rim. Japanese Kyusu side handle teapots are ideal for brewing green tea. The tea leaves can unfold freely in the pot and are held back in the pot by an integrated sieve in front of the spout during infusion. Thanks to the fine-meshed integrated stainless steel sieve in front of the spout, this Kyusu is also ideal for small-leaf Fukamushi teas. The filling quantity of the pot should be selected so that the tea can be completely distributed over the cup(s) provided and no water remains in the pot. The leaves remain in the pot and are then simply brewed again briefly with water for further infusions. Dimensions Capacity: 410 ml For 1-4 persons . Variations Please note that the shape, colour and size of the tea ceramics may vary slightly! This applies in particular to teapots, which are all at least partially handmade. Cleaning For cleaning in everyday use, simply knock out the tea set and rinse well with clean water also through the strainer. If, after prolonged use, the strainer has slowly become clogged, here are instructions for the care and cleaning of your teapot - for unadulterated tea enjoyment: Cleaning instructions for teapots.

Shincha Classic 2026 - Organic Japanese Green Tea

Average rating of 4.9 out of 5 stars

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.
