TASTING NOTE

Japanese green tea with refreshing flavors of lemongrass and lime. Find a perfect blend of flavors to enjoy in hot tea or iced tea. Seasonal tea available only in summer.

At first glance, we admire the pretty khaki shade coloring these needles sprinkled with lemongrass and zesty bits. Then, we inhale the scents of lime that escape from it, with those slightly peppery hints of lemongrass that envelop us. It then emerges like a cool breeze laden with essential oils. Once infused, the leaves open well and offer us a beautiful olive green. They are still loaded with a sweet scent reminiscent of lemon treats, accompanied by a scent of lemongrass incense.

On the nose, the both green and buttery scents typical of Bancha green teas emerge for the first time. When tasting, the lemon lines the palate from the start. Lime is also involved, with its more subtle acidity, quickly extended by lemongrass and its strong imprint. A vegetal and milky final note is there to remind us of the identity of the tea base. A game of astringency and acidity accompanies us until the end of the tasting, in the length. All of this reminds us of delicious memories of our youth: lemon peel sorbet or citrus juice lollipop ... 

Ingredients: Green tea, citrus peel, orange peel, lemongrass, aroma
Type of tea and origin: Sencha green tea from Japan
Can be re-infused: 1 - 2 times


We make every effort to guarantee you the best possible quality as well as great finesse in the aromas offered and we select, as such, the best raw materials.

These teas come to us by air to guarantee you the greatest freshness and are all packaged in a protective atmosphere to obtain a quality infusion, even if you open your package at the end of the date indicated.

LEARN MORE ABOUT JAPANESE GREEN TEAS

Green teas are "non-oxidized" teas, meaning that oxidation of the leaves is quickly stopped after picking. They therefore retain their green color and all their properties. Green tea is produced mainly in Japan and China, each of these countries having its own manufacturing methods and a different aromatic rendering.

In Japan, green tea (Nihon-cha) represents more than 99% of national production and comes mostly from the islands of Kyushu and Honshu. There are different varieties of green teas: Sencha, Genmaïcha, Gyokuro, Hojicha, Matcha, Bancha etc...

The harvest of green tea is made from mid-April to the end of September on 4 harvests.

> The first harvest (April - May), reputed to produce a more refined and less astringent tea than the following ones.
> 2nd harvest (June - July)
> 3rd harvest (July - August)
> 4th harvest (August - September)

Green teas are known for their many benefits and therapeutic properties, which vary from variety to variety. Generally speaking, green teas are rich in antioxidants, vitamins C and amino acids. Among these antioxidants, we can mention the presence of catechin which slows the progression of free radicals in the body and therefore the appearance of cancers.

Sencha is the variety of green tea which occupies the largest share in Japanese production (nearly 70%). With its vegetal and sometimes iodine aroma when grown by the seaside, sencha features needle-shaped leaves with a dark green color. It is produced virtually across the country. Unlike other types of teas which are protected from the sun at some point in their cultivation, Sencha, on the other hand, is fully exposed in the tea fields. 

At LUPICIA, attention is paid not only to the gardens and their method of making, but also through the variety of tea plants used. Although Yabukita is the most widely grown variety in Japan, there are other unique and equally aromatic varieties of tea plants.

During each new tea harvest, mainly from March to June, we buy green teas from selected producers throughout the country. Some tea masters continue to use traditional methods such as leaf roasting and their production is only available in small quantities.

The passion and know-how of producers who continue to cultivate and research new varieties and flavors allow Japanese teas to be recognized for their high quality and finesse. Japanese tea is an integral part of daily life in Japan, it is consumed every day whether in hot or iced tea.
