5) Fuka Mushi Kabuse
|
This tea is a mixed one called ‘Fuka mushi tea’ and ‘Kabuse tea’. It has the traditional green tea’s hint of punchy bitterness, yet a delicate mildness. ‘Fukamushi tea’ is made through an extra steaming process, so it gives strength of taste, and ‘Kabuse tea’ leaves are shaded from sun before picking, so the tea retains its mildness. This interesting combination makes fantastic ‘Sencha’ tea. |

9) Gyokuro Tea bags 25 bags

There are two grades of green tea leaves: one is superior quality ‘Gyokuro’ and other is normal ‘Sencha’ green tea. ‘Gyokuro’ has a darker colour and slightly stronger taste. Originally ‘Gyokuro’ was drunk by aristocrats in Japan as a medicine. Since it is grown and produced with extra care, it is normally quite expensive. It is very rare to be able to get it in tea bag form. |

10) Premier Sencha Tea bags 25 bags
|
These tea leaves are picked around May time, and during Summer they are stored for an extra length of time. This extra storage enhances the flavour. Leaves for tea bags are cut smaller than those for loose tea, in order for the flavour to infuse properly. So these teabags taste just as good as the loose tea - there is no compromise in quality. |

‘Houjicha’ is roasted green tea. It is commonly drunk in the Kanto area around Tokyo, whereas people from the Kansai area tend to drink more sencha. This particular ‘Houjicha’ produces a spetacular aroma and flavour.

It is low in caffeine compared to other teas. |

Connoisseur Corner
|
 In this corner, I would like to introduce some very authentic Japanese tea, which isn’t widely available.
Matcha is famous for its use in the tea ceremony, but there are two kinds of Matcha, ‘Koicha’ (Thick tea) and ‘Usucha’ (thin tea).
Authentic Gyokuro is different from ordinary green tea:- you make it in different way, and appreciate it in a different way. You can experience the depth of Japanese green tea from this tea.

18) Matcha ‘Seiho’ (Koicha)
|
Koicha is used for making thick tea (no froth). Normally it is used for small group tea ceremonies, and the same cup of Koicha is shared between the whole group. It is said that this type of tea ceremony is very special and the quality of tea leaves is slightly better than the other one. It looks like thick potage soup, so you use 3 tea spoon per person. |

19) Yame Hon Gyokuro
|
This Gyokuro is grown in the traditional way and the quality is second to none. You need to make it with tepid water at 40 degrees. Like the tea ceremony, the making of this tea needs to be precise. It has quite a different flavour from normal green tea. Some Japanese Gyokuro connoiseur enjoy this incredible delicacy. Once you master how to make proper Gyokuro, you will be a true connoiseur of green tea. |

22) Kyusu
|
This tea pot is designed by the tea manufacturer from whom I get most of my tea. It is a quirky design, but very well thought out. It holds just about the same as one coffee mug and there is no lid. There is a mesh to stop the leaves pouring through. This means that you get the right temperature quickly, you can enjoy watching the leaves’ movement, and it is easy to clean. It is a stress free solution to tea-making. |
