1. Gyokuro
During the last weeks before harvest, the tea plants are covered with shadow nets. The shade forces the tea plants to produce more chlorophyll in order to make its photosynthesis. The extra chlorophyll gives the tea leaves a very sophisticated and deep taste. It is also very rich in anti-oxidants. If brewed correctly, a sip of Gyokuro brings an explosion of taste in the mouth!
3. Sencha
For this award winning Sencha only the best tea leaves have been selected. It has a very deep yet sophisticated and delicate taste.
7. Tea bags
Hojicha Yame tea bags: for convenience we have put our Hojicha in a tea bag as well. Our tea bags all contain 5gr of 100% Japanese green tea!
5. Hojicha-Bancha
Don't be mistaken by the brown color, Hojicha is a green tea: it has been steamed tight after the harvest to stop the oxidation of the tea. After steaming, Hojicha is roasted, giving the tea leaves the brown color. The roasting is a natural way to remove the caffeine from the tea. That's why in Japan people enjoy Hojicha mainly in the evening. Azumaya Hojicha has a deep strong taste, making it perfectly suited as an alternative to coffee. Also great for making Ice-tea: just make the fresh tea, and pour it in a glass filled with ice cubes to cool it down.

3. Sencha
Fukamushi Sencha Yame tea is steamed longer than regular Sencha, giving the tea leaves a lighter aroma, and deeper taste. Thanks to this deep taste, Fukamushi tea is also very suited to make ice tea. Fukamushi tea leaves are shorter than regular Sencha leaves.
