Keiko Gyokuro Kiwami, organic

Keiko Gyokuro Kiwami (organic) - the pinnacle of the finest tea art

Are you looking for a green tea that is more than just a pick-me-up? One that not only refreshes you physically, but also mentally - layer by layer, cup by cup? Welcome to Keiko Gyokuro Kiwami - a Japanese organic Gyokuro that will give even experienced tea connoisseurs pause.

"Kiwami" (極み) means "peak", "climax" in Japanese. And that is exactly what this tea is: the expression of the highest level of craftsmanship, grown in the highlands of Kagoshima, at an altitude of over 1000 meters, where the tea bushes thrive under particularly pure conditions. The harvest - carefully by hand, only once a year - ensures a quality that is uncompromisingly focused on the essentials: Taste, purity, depth.

Full shade tea with character

The plants are shaded in two stages for three weeks - a process that requires a great deal of experience, as it requires precise timing and great sensitivity without the use of chemical pesticides. But the effort is worth it: the fine, needle-shaped leaves develop their characteristic, deep green umami profile, which makes this Gyokuro an experience - both for the palate and the eye.

Experience a harmonious infusion with noble sweetness, floral notes and a fine fruity spiciness. The tea reveals its full radiance in the second infusion in particular - intensely green, amazingly lively, with a long-lasting, full-bodied finish. A tea that not only tastes good, but also connects: with the origin, the landscape, the culture and the moment.

Special organic composition for special depth

The fact that this tea is certified organic is anything but a matter of course. A specifically developed organic fertilizer, precise shading techniques and medium steaming (chumushi) create ideal conditions for a Gyokuro that stands out in its clarity, freshness and complexity. KEIKO searched for a long time until this standard was reached - and you can taste it in every sip.

Preparation - as individual as your moment

For an optimal taste experience, you can choose between three tried-and-tested preparation methods:

• Intensive & full: 7 g / 100 ml, 40-50 °C, 120 seconds (1st infusion)
• Balanced & aromatic: 3-4 g / 100 ml, 55-60 °C, 90 sec (1st infusion)
• Cold infusion: 3-4 g / 200 ml, cold water, 5 minutes - for summery light clarity

Each method elicits a different facet from the tea - sometimes velvety, sometimes mineral, sometimes more floral. Experiment with what works for you

For anyone who doesn't just want to drink tea, but wants to experience it

The Gyokuro Kiwami is made for connoisseurs looking for depth. The bright green of its infusions speaks of lush fields and clear mountain air. The aromas resonate - quiet, complex, sincere. Just the right tea for quiet hours, concentrated rituals or simply: for you.
