Organic Kirishima Loose Leaf Green Tea - Bulk, 250g

SKU: MT-BULK250-KIR

An approachable green tea that is steamed for twice as long as our other varieties, resulting in a slightly less bitter cup with a subtle floral character.

The dark and irregularly shaped leaves found in Kirishima are steamed for twice as long as a typical sencha. This process produces an approachable tea with a mild flavor and an especially dark verdant color. This style is a relative newcomer to the world of Japanese green teas and is known for being refreshing and easy to brew. Kirishima is one of our favorite teas to drink cold.

What to expect: A coarse tea that, when brewed, results in a cup with light sediment, notes of cucumber and freshly cut grass, and a somewhat floral aftertaste.

Detailed preparation instructions are included in each container. All Morihata teas are certified organic by KOAA (Kagoshima Organic Agriculture Association) in full compliance with USDA standards.

*All bulk tea options are ordered as needed from Japan. As a result, please allow for longer lead times on these items.*

Recommended Brewing Techniques for Green Tea

Unlocking the flavorful notes and healthful properties of our bulk green tea is simple. 

For best results, warm purified water to a temperature of 160-170°F. If the water was boiled, allow the water to cool before steeping; boiling water can scorch the tea leaves and produce an overly bitter taste. 

Measure a heaping teaspoon, or approximately 5 grams, of loose-leaf green tea to prepare two cups. It’s important to note, that you do not need to grind our bulk green tea leaves further before steeping; the leaves of our Japanese tea in bulk are sufficiently delicate, which allows the leaves to steep completely without any secondary preparation steps required. 

Using your preferred strainer, tea bags, or steeping teapot, steep the green tea leaves for approximately 30 seconds. For a stronger flavor, you can experiment with increasing steep times for an additional 1-3 minutes if desired. 

Your refreshing green tea is ready to enjoy! Simply pour, savor, and sample without sweetener or cream because this wonderful green tea requires nothing else.
