Japanese Green Tea Reserve Collection: The Art of Refinement
Experience four exceptional expressions of Japanese green tea craftsmanship, selected to showcase differences in processing, cultivation, shading, origin, and tradition.
The Art of Refinement brings together Kamairicha, Asamushicha, Imperial Grade Gyokuro, and Imperial and Heritage Grade Matcha; a collection created for tea drinkers who want to explore Japanese green tea beyond the familiar.
Kamairicha
A distinctive Japanese green tea that is pan-fired rather than steamed, offering a compelling contrast to Japan’s better-known steamed tea traditions.
Asamushicha
A lightly steamed Japanese green tea crafted to preserve more of the leaf’s structure while revealing a refined balance of aroma, sweetness, umami, and fresh vegetal character.
Imperial Grade Gyokuro
Shade-grown before harvest to develop extraordinary concentration, sweetness, and savory umami. Gyokuro represents one of Japan’s most distinctive approaches to green tea cultivation and craftsmanship.
Imperial & Heritage Grade Matcha
Traditionally stone-ground matcha selected for its depth, refined texture, vibrant character, and pronounced umami; an elevated expression of one of Japan’s most celebrated tea traditions.
Together, these four teas reveal how dramatically Japanese green tea can change through pan-firing, steaming, shading, and stone-grinding.
Each collection includes:
• 1 oz Kamairicha
• 1 oz Asamushicha
• 1 oz Imperial Grade Gyokuro
• 1 oz Imperial & Heritage Grade Matcha
• 4 oz total tea
• Brewing instructions
All four are pure teas with no added flavors, sugar, candy, or fillers.
The collection is personally curated by Certified Tea Specialist Jennifer Nowicki, certified through the Specialty Tea Institute in New York City, drawing on more than 30 years of experience with tea and advanced training in professional tea evaluation and cupping.
An exceptional choice for the serious Japanese tea drinker, collector, or discerning gift recipient seeking a deeper exploration of Japanese green tea craftsmanship.
