Cultivar: Yabukita (a cultivar with well balanced aroma, umami, and bitterness)
The white mold seen in the photo of the soil is a natural occurrence that doesn’t appear when using chemical fertilizers. It only forms when organic fertilizers are used, allowing microorganisms to thrive and coexist. This is how truly delicious tea can be grown — by harnessing the power of nature. This is the story behind our partner farm in Honyama, Shizuoka.
Green tea is rich in antioxidants, particularly catechins, which help protect the body from free radicals and support overall health. It can boost metabolism, enhance fat burning and support cardiovascular health. The caffeine and L-theanine in green tea also promote mental alertness while maintaining a sense of calm. Drinking green tea regularly is a gentle and refreshing way to support both body and mind.
Delivery typically takes about 4~8 days within Asia, and around 2 weeks to most other regions. Shipping costs depend on your destination country and the weight of your order. Depending on the destination, customs duties and VAT may be charged. If applicable, your shipping carrier will contact you directly for payment.
Please note: The format of the best-before date may differ depending on the product, as we source directly from individual tea farms.
We recommend using 5 grams of tea leaves for every 6 to 7 ounces (180 to 200 ml) of water. Adjust the amount according to your taste preferences—using a bit more tea can result in a richer, more full-bodied flavor.
For the first infusion, use water at 175°F (80°C) to bring out the tea’s delicate sweetness and umami.
For the second infusion, boiled water is recommended to extract deeper flavors with bitterness.
Steep the tea for 60 to 75 seconds during the first infusion to fully develop its flavor and aroma.
For the second infusion, a quick 10-second steep is usually enough, as the leaves are already opened.

KUKICHA
1 / of5
One Farm, One Story
Producing high-quality organic green tea is incredibly difficult. However, some farmers have overcome these challenges through hard work and ingenuity. At NAGOMI, we honor their dedication by delivering their teas as single-origin — never blended with teas from other farms.
The Kukicha is mild and sweet to the taste. After studying a number of pesticides used on most tea bushes in Japan, this organic tea is a peaceful, healthy, and safe alternative.
