Kamairicha is a rare pan-fired Japanese green tea, making up less than 0.3% of Japan's total tea production. Unlike most Japanese green teas, which are steamed, Yabukita Kamairicha is pan-fired — a traditional method now kept alive in only a few regions of Japan. One of them is Ureshino, in Saga Prefecture, where this tea is grown and crafted. It was the very first tea we added to our shop.

Flavour: Toasted, sesame-like notes with a subtle smoky finish — clean and easy to drink any time of day.

How to brew Kamairicha: Steep with water between 80°C and 90°C, or even boiling water, to bring out its aroma. It also cold-brews well for a refreshing iced green tea in warmer months. A great starting point if you're new to Japanese green tea.
