Mulberry Leaf Tea, Kuwacha

Smooth texture with vegetal notes of kelp and gyokuro, this caffeine-free herbal tea is uncannily similar to steamed Japanese green teas.  Notes of seaweed, grass, and deep-steamed, fresh sencha. The deep-steamed Mulberry leaves (kuwacha) are uncannily similar to a traditional Japanese green tea like sencha or gyokuro. This uncommon tea is naturally caffeine-free and brews with a silky, vegetal profile. Like a fine Japanese green tea, it has oceanic elements with a smooth, mouthwatering umami texture. By look, smell, or texture, Mulberry is similar to a traditional Japanese green tea like sencha or gyokuro. These pesticide-free mulberry leaves grown in the coastal Miyagi prefecture in Japan, and are prepared in a similar deep-steamed fashion to high quality green teas, achieving a beautiful and rich infusion. It’s clear that the coastal environmental qualities are present in this tea. It’s very interesting to me how the sencha preparation technique can alter the mulberry leaf. Other
