TASTING NOTE

Tsugaru Apple: Japan's Orchard in Your Cup

Tsugaru Apple tea is an invitation to travel to the northern part of the Japanese archipelago, to the Aomori prefecture. This region, renowned worldwide for the exceptional quality of its orchards, is home to the Tsugaru variety: a crisp, juicy, and delicately tart apple. Lupicia has captured this springtime freshness and combined it with the refinement of a traditional green tea.

The Perfect Balance: Marine Terroir and Northern Orchards

This blend is based on a subtle harmony between fruit and leaf:

  • A Sencha with Character: The base is a high-quality Japanese green tea made from second harvests. These leaves, particularly rich in antioxidants, offer the marine and vegetal notes typical of Japan's great gardens.
  • The Aroma of Tsugaru: On the nose, the fresh apple stands out clearly, evoking an early morning harvest. On the palate, the natural sweetness of the fruit is perfectly balanced with the light astringency of the green tea.
  • Natural ingredients: For an authentic experience, the blend is enriched with real pieces of dried apple, enhancing the deliciousness of the infusion.
  • On the nose: A lively and fruity initial aroma, very true to the scent of freshly cut apple.
  • On the palate: A beautiful balance between the roundness of the fruit and the vegetal structure of the green tea. A clean and refreshing finish.
  • Appearance: A clear, bright, light green color.

Why choose Tsugaru Apple Tea?

  • Regional Tribute: A creation inspired by Aomori, the heart of the apple in Japan.
  • Well-being: A tea rich in antioxidants, ideal for a healthy and indulgent break.
  • Family Enjoyment: Its fruity sweetness makes it a very approachable tea, appreciated by all palates.

Preparation tips

Tsugaru Apple Tea is highly versatile and lends itself to two brewing styles:

  • Hot Brew: Prepare it between 75°C and 85°C for 1 minute 30 seconds to 2 minutes. The heat will enhance the comforting notes of the baked apple and the vegetal sweetness of the Sencha. Use spring or filtered water.
  • Dosage: Use approximately 2,5g to 3g of tea (one heaped teaspoon) per 150ml of water. Choose spring or filtered water.
  • Re-infusions: Like all high-quality green teas, this tea can be brewed up to 2 times. For subsequent infusions, you can slightly increase the temperature and reduce the brewing time to 30 seconds.
  • Iced Tea: This is undoubtedly one of our best choices for summer. When cold-brewed (6 hours in the refrigerator), the tangy notes of Tsugaru apple become incredibly refreshing and invigorating

Specifications

  • Ingredients: Green tea, pieces of dried apples, flavoring
  • Type of tea and origin: Green tea from Japan
  • Can be re-infused: 1 - 2 times
  • Number of infusions for 50g: about 20

  • The Tsugaru Apple: Aomori's Red Gold

    While Japan is world-renowned for the perfection of its fruit, the Aomori region, in the far north of Honshu Island, is its sanctuary. It is here, between the sea and the mountains, that the Tsugaru flourishes, one of the archipelago's most iconic varieties.

    An Exceptional Terroir

    The Tsugaru plain benefits from a unique microclimate: harsh winters with snow and mild summers with a significant temperature difference between day and night. This natural thermal stress forces the apple to concentrate its sugars and develop an incomparably delicate flesh.

    The Profile of the Tsugaru

    Unlike Western varieties, which are often very acidic, the Tsugaru apple is distinguished by:

    • A Juicy Sweetness: It has a naturally high sugar content and a very crisp texture.
    • A Tangy Freshness: Its acidity is subtle, just enough to bring a burst of energy and vibrancy to the palate.
    • An Enchanting Aroma: When fully ripe, it releases a powerful floral and fruity aroma, instantly evoking the end of a Japanese summer.
  • Why did we choose it for our green tea?

    At Lupicia, we weren't looking for a simple, generic "apple flavor." We wanted to capture the soul of the Aomori orchards. The Tsugaru variety was selected for its unique ability to complement Japanese Sencha:

    • Vegetal Balance: The fresh fruit notes of Tsugaru soften the natural bitterness of the green tea, creating a well-rounded and harmonious infusion.
    • Brightness as Iced Tea: Thanks to its naturally tart profile, this tea reveals an incredibly refreshing dimension when cold-brewed, reminiscent of the bite of a freshly picked apple.
    • A natural treasure: By combining this exceptional fruit with an antioxidant-rich tea, we offer you a healthy, delicious beverage free from any unnecessary additives.

    Enjoying our Tsugaru Apple tea is like taking a sensory stroll through the orchards of northern Japan. It's the perfect blend of the precision of a fine green tea and the bounty of a sun-drenched fruit.

    Whether for a revitalizing start to your day or a refreshing break, don't settle for just any fruit tea. Choose the authenticity of a unique terroir and the clarity of a grand cru.
