Gokuzyo Aracha - High-Grade Unrefined Green Tea

Gokyuzyo 極上 translates to "The Highest Grade" in Japanese. Aracha 荒茶 means "wild tea" in English and is also known as "unrefined tea" or "crude tea."  Aracha is green tea, where the process keeps the original shape as it is cropped, whereas most green teas consumed are refined and processed. Though it is not commonly distributed to consumers, green farmers have enjoyed tea this way for generations. You can enjoy this tea, which includes twig tea and coarse and powdered tea. Aracha tea leaves produce a beautifully colored drink with a mild, unique taste. Due to its "natural" state, aracha is also full of nutrients, more so than other refined teas.
