According to studies conducted by local hospitals, universities and national research agencies, Kakegawa city in Shizuoka prefecture has the lowest rate. What’s more interesting is that 7 out of top 15 cities of low cancer mortality rate in Japan are green tea regions. Scientists believe that catechin (antioxidant)in green tea plays a key role in low cancer mortality, and Fukamushi (deep-steamed) green tea grabbed the spotlight because Kakegawa residents drink Fukamushi green tea like water.
Fukamushi (deep-steamed) green tea has fine particles because long steaming process breaks up green tea leaves. If you have ever tried Fukamushi green tea, you must have noticed tiny particles floating in your cup. Scientists found that those particles contain great components such as β-carotene, vitamin E and chlorophyll that are not found in non-fukamushi green tea.
SÁ Japanese Green Tea is blended with Fukamushi green Tea from Kakegawa city.
We are pleased to announce that we now have premium Matcha powder available at our online store.
Matcha powder is traditionally used for Japanese tea ceremony, but you can use it as a healthy ingredient for your food and beverage.
Matcha is made from Tencha. Tencha is shaded green tea specially produced for Matcha. After harvest, Tencha is de-veined, de-stemmed, and stone-ground to make Matcha. It gives fantastic fragrance, color and smoothness. What's best about Matcha is that you are taking the whole benefit of green tea.
