Premium Organic Japanese Kabusecha Loose Leaf Green Tea
Grown for 10 days in natural shade to increase the amino acid content of the tea. Smoother and sweeter than regular Sencha. Made from young organically grown leaves from a JAS/ECOCERT certified organic plantation located at 400-600m above sea level (one of the highest in Japan) in the natural surroundings of the Southern Alps in Shizuoka, Japan. Vacuum-sealed for freshness.
Ocha & Co. was set up after a trip back home in 2011 and a fruitless search for quality Japanese Green Teas in the local health shops and supermarkets. There just wasn't any! The aim of the company is to provide the same quality and range of teas you would normally buy if living in Japan. Small batches are shipped from the manufacturer each month ensuring that the teas sent to our customers are extremely fresh with the longest possible shelf-life. Selected for the overseas market to strike a balance between quality and affordability, the teas from this plantation can found in some of the high-end stores in Japan such as Kinokuniya.
Ocha & Co. was selected for the Japanese pavilion at the 2015 Speciality & Fine Food Fair at Olympia in London - the leading event for quality artisan foods in the UK (see picture).
Simple, clean minimalistic packaging with stylized Japanese calligraphy. We also sell other organic teas on Amazon, namely; Sencha, Fukamushi (deep steamed Sencha), Kukicha (stems and twigs), Genmai Matcha (brown rice, sencha and matcha) and Matcha.
Shipping by Airmail is usually the same day and takes between 7-10 days to arrive from Japan. Larger orders of five plus are sent Expedited which takes about 5 days to arrive.
