Denne smukt afbalancerede japanske løse blade grøn te er lavet af blade og stængler fra den højeste kvalitet gyokuro. Den kommer fra den lille, men legendariske økologiske gård hos familien Sakamoto.
Karigane betyder 'Vild Gås' - angiveligt fordi de blege stængler mod de grønne blade ligner vilde gæs, der sidder i træernes grene.
