Category: Lösbladste

Denna vackert balanserade japanska lösvikt gröna te görs av blad och stjälkar från högsta kvalitet gyokuro. Den kommer från den lilla men legendariska ekologiska gården hos familjen Sakamoto.

Karigane betyder 'vild gås' - förmodligen för att den bleka färgen på stjälkarna mot de gröna bladen ser ut som vildgäss som sitter i trädgrenar.

Det är också känt som stjälkte, kukicha eller kvistte.

Steeped this at a lower temp than my usual greens and the broth came out silky-sweet, almost savory, with none of the bitterness I get from cheaper stems.

The stems and leaves make for a surprisingly smooth, almost brothy cup that’s nothing like the grassy bitterness I usually get from green tea. A single teaspoon easily gives me three solid, sweet infusions before it starts to fade.

Emily ★★★★★

That first steep tastes like liquid umami, so smooth and sweet you’d never guess it’s a stem tea. Even the third brew kept that lovely gyokuro depth, and the leaves are so fine they barely take any time to unfurl.
