About This Tea

Strawberry Green Tea is a distinguished tea originating from Various, Japan, where the unique combination of soil, climate, and elevation creates ideal conditions for producing this remarkable variety. The leaves are steamed shortly after harvest to halt oxidation, preserving the bright green color and fresh, vegetal character, resulting in a tea that has captivated drinkers for generations with its distinctive character and refined qualities. For centuries, tea artisans in this region have perfected the techniques needed to bring out the best in each leaf, passing down knowledge from master to apprentice through countless generations.

A well-prepared cup of Strawberry Green Tea is a multisensory experience. The fragrance immediately conveys sweet strawberry with green tea base, while the palate encounters fruity, sweet strawberry with green freshness. Experienced tea drinkers often note how the flavor evolves as the tea cools, revealing new dimensions of taste with each sip. In terms of stimulation, Strawberry Green Tea is moderate in caffeine with 20-35 mg per cup, providing gentle alertness without the jitters.

In Japanese tea culture, this tea holds a special place. The Japanese approach to tea emphasizes seasonality, mindfulness, and the harmony between the drinker and the natural world.

To brew Strawberry Green Tea properly, water should be heated to 70°C to 80°C and the leaves steeped for 1 to 1 minutes. Using approximately 2.0g of tea per 100ml of water produces optimal results. The tea can be re-steeped up to 2 times, with each infusion offering a slightly different expression of the leaf's character. Many experienced drinkers find that the second or third infusion reveals the tea's true depth.

The appeal of Strawberry Green Tea in contemporary tea culture reflects a broader movement toward mindful consumption and appreciation of artisanal products. As more people seek alternatives to mass-produced beverages, teas like Strawberry Green Tea offer an authentic connection to terroir, tradition, and taste. Each cup tells a story — of the land where the leaves were grown, the hands that processed them, and the centuries of knowledge that guided every step of their journey from garden to cup.
