004 MEGUMI 恵, Wild & Bold Tea

¥2,500

MEGUMI means gift from nature. Deep green in colour, this is a wild and full-bodied tea with a bold taste. It is a special tea produced using the entire leaf (Aracha) which gives a distinct rawness and captures all of mother nature's goodness.


Aracha green tea is one of the most popular types enjoyed in Japan and our farmers' family (Yokota) has been growing green tea for over 100 years. Their tea was once even used to serve the Emperor of Japan.

  • Large 100g volume
  • Cultivar: Yabukita
  • Process: Aracha
  • Single Origin - direct from farmer
  • Blended for Cup of Japan by Yokota Family
  • No preservatives/ No GMO /Gluten-free /Vegan

ADDITIONAL NOTES

Aracha (荒茶) may be translated as "Crude Tea", it is processed using the entire leaf of the and including the leaf's stem; highly suited for those who enjoy teas offering complex earthy flavours. It is a testament to mother nature, a combination of refinement within rawness.

Not bold enough but still pleasant taste

I was expecting something even stronger, but perhaps I need to experiment with the brewing temperature & time to get it right. The fragrance is definitely uplifting, though

Bold name and taste

Great kanji name! Definitely a bolder green tea and love that all these teas come direct from the farmer sustaining their activity
