The first cup of Japanese tea is often said to be about aroma, while the second about flavour. With Deep-steamed Tea, the tea is steamed for 2-3 times longer than usual to produce a single cup with a rich aroma and taste all at once.
Nabeshimameicha is a historic tea purveyor that has spanned five generations and offers a unique aroma, flavour, and cloudy brew in its tea. As specialty purveyors of Deep-steamed Tea, our products have been beloved for over 100 years.
We offer three types of delicious tea, from our rare, high-grade of single-strain tea, to various proprietary blends that have been favourites of our clients over the generations.
Brown Rice Green Tea with Matcha: The use of small-grained brown rice produces a tea that is more aromatic than it is sweet. The producer pays particular attention to preserving the delicate balance between the aroma of brown rice and the flavour of the tea. The leaves are carefully picked from 3 tea production areas (Gifu, Kagoshima, Shizuoka) and the Matcha originates from Uji, Kyoto.
Roasted Tea with Yuzu: This green tea is a medium roast to ensure that it has not been burnt by hot air and therefore, has a characteristically weak astringency. The strong aroma is created by the most famous Japanese Lemon - Yuzu - making this tea less bitter and more balanced.
Shirakawa Green Tea: These tea leaves come from Shirakawa Town in Gifu Prefecture, where the temperature differences between daytime and night time make a clear impact on taste. The Shirakawa tea is slightly bitter but has good balance of sweet and umami tastes.
