Jugetsudo Organic Sakura Sencha with Cherry Blossom
Light, grassy sencha is Japan's most popular type of green tea, and Jugetsudo's addition of freeze-dried cherry blossom (sakura) petals enhances the tea's herbaceous qualities—think crushed spring leaves, not vegetal notes. The sakura adds a delicate sweet aroma and looks absolutely beautiful in this elegant, approachable green tea.
Jugetsudo Organic Genmaicha Green Tea with Matcha
Genmaicha is Japanese green tea that is mixed with roasted, popped brown rice. This premium product from Jugetsudo is a rich, balanced green tea, with notes of sesame and a hint of umami richness from the caramelization of the toasted rice. Earthy matcha adds a fuller, rounded flavor for a satisfying cup.
Jugetsudo Yuzu Sencha
Light, grassy sencha is Japan's most popular type of green tea, and this version from Jugetsudo is especially smooth and slightly floral with the addition of aromatic yuzu, a type of Asian citrus. We like that it's fruity but not overly acidic and doesn't have the artificial, borderline soapy taste of cheaper yuzu teas.
Matcha Kari Summer Reserve Matcha
Bright green and richer than other green teas, this matcha powder from Matcha Kari is one of our favorites because of its smooth and light texture. Summer Reserve matcha is creamy, umami and full-bodied with mellow green afternotes. Because it has a less bitter profile than other varieties, this matcha is the perfect addition to smoothies, lattes or desserts.
Matcha Kari Morning Ritual Matcha
Japanese matcha is a rich, full-bodied green tea that has long been prized for its unique creaminess and umami flavor. Matcha Kari’s Morning Ritual has an especially balanced flavor profile that makes it ideal for everyday drinking. The crisp sweetness and subtle grassy undertones of this matcha powder make it a great blend for people who are unused to more vegetal blends but want an authentic matcha experience.
Matcha Kari Japanese Matcha Tea Set
Bright green and fuller-bodied than other teas, matcha green tea is so prized in Japan that its preparation is considered an art form. Substituting Western utensils can result in a clumpy, muddy drink, so we recommend Matcha Kari’s tea set, with a traditional bamboo scoop, matcha whisk, sifter, and ceramic bowl, all handmade in Japan. Most importantly, the organic Superior Matcha included in the set has a sweet, rich flavor with subtle umami that makes it best suited for drinking.
