Marimo Karigane, organic

Marimo Karigane (organic) - the silent companion for conscious tea moments

Are you looking for a tea that not only tastes good, but also touches your heart? Marimo Karigane from organic cultivation gives you just that - a moment of mindfulness, gently embedded in the vibrant green of the first spring shoots.

This exceptional Kukicha comes from the Hayashi family's traditional organic tea garden in Mie Prefecture, Japan. Here, the tea grows in the midst of natural cycles - far away from the hustle and bustle, close to the earth. The Hayashi family has been cultivating their fields completely organically since the 1970s - with a great deal of patience, experience and a deep understanding of plant power and soil life.

Karigane is made from the tender leaf stems and leaves of the first harvest - particularly mild, finely balanced and yet aromatic. The longer, so-called "chu-mushi" steeping process gives the infusion a gentle cloudiness and a surprising depth of flavor: soft, green, calming - almost a bit like forest soil after summer rain.

A tea like a pause. Whether in the morning as a conscious ritual or in the afternoon as a soothing anchor between two breaths - this Karigane invites you to connect with yourself.

Origin & philosophy - with respect for the living

The Hayashis' organic tea garden is located on the main Japanese island of Honshu, not far from the coast of Mie Prefecture - surrounded by hills, wind and wild herbs. For generations, the family has lived here with what they grow - responsibly, with foresight and in harmony with the rhythm of the seasons.

Iwao Hayashi, the father, was one of the first in Japan to switch to organic tea cultivation - long before there were organic labels. Today, his son Kimihiko is continuing this vision: the entire business is JAS and EU organic certified and is known for its balanced, gently steamed teas.

The secret lies in the steaming: "half fukamushi" means that the tea leaves are steamed a little longer than usual - the result is an intense, yet clear taste with a velvety texture in the infusion. Just a short moment of steeping time is all it takes for the full depth of the tea to unfold in your cup.

Marimo Karigane - a tea with character, grown from mindful farming, masterful processing and the quiet strength of a place where organic is not a trend, but an attitude.
