Japan: Seiran Karegane

A smooth, stem-forward green tea with natural sweetness, soft umami, and a clean, refreshing finish.

Seiran Karegane is a Japanese green tea made from a blend of stems and leaf, giving it a lighter, more rounded profile than traditional sencha. The presence of stems brings out a natural sweetness and a softer, more approachable character.

The cup is bright and easy-drinking, with gentle umami, fresh green notes, and a smooth, slightly creamy texture. It feels balanced and calming, with a clean finish that lingers without weight.

Crafted using traditional methods.

Ideal for those who enjoy smooth, naturally sweet Japanese green teas with a lighter, more relaxed profile.
