Haiku
Organic Twig Teas...the Poetry of Tea
During
the fall, in the Uji district, traditional center of the Japanese
tea industry, the Nagata family turns to the harvest of tea twigs
for Kukicha, the “peasant’s drink”, so-called because
farmers drank it after selling the leaves as a cash crop. The Nagatas
carefully select 40% thick twigs aged 10 yrs., 40% medium twigs
aged 3 yrs., and 20% thin twigs and leaves aged 1 yr. Each variety
is gently roasted to bring out its rich flavor, and then they are
all blended together. Try our HAIKU Nagata
Japanese Organic Twig Tea and you will understand why true
connoisseurs of Japanese twig tea will drink nothing else. |
