A Green Tea Passion

Japanese green tea in premium quality from controlled organic cultivation - this has been our premise since 1992.

Whether powder or leaf, classic or ‘something different’ - KEIKO teas are all grown in organic quality in the south of Japan in Kagoshima. On the company's own organic farm (left) or from long-standing partners in the Kagoshima region.

Quality and sustainability always take centre stage for us.

Cooling vessel, dark

Green tea should not be infused with boiling water. However, we recommend boiling the water once, as this makes it softer and reduces the lime content. To cool the water down, the Japanese then use so-called yuzamashi - cooling vessels with a spout. By decanting the water, the temperature drops a little faster and the elegant, simple vessel looks good with any tea set. Tip: if you want to fill several cups, you can pour the tea into the cooling vessel first and then pour it out. This ensures that the tea is equally strong in all cups. And if the cups are already full but there is still tea left in the pot, the tea can be stored temporarily in the cooling vessel without it becoming ‘bitter’ in the pot due to excessive infusion time. This cooling vessel has a slightly uneven, corrugated surface with practical recessed grips and a matt, dark surface. The thick-walled clay is easy to handle even in hot temperatures. Dimensions Capacity 260 ml 14 x 10 x 11 cm

Organic Mulberry Leaf Tea Kagoshima

This mulberry leaf tea with a fine, toasty caramel flavour is produced in Shimane Prefecture. The leaves are hand-picked in Shimane and lightly fired. This gives them a fine, warm flavour and a pleasant sweetness. In the cup, the infusion has a golden colour reminiscent of honey and amber. Depending on how it is prepared, the tea may develop nuances of black tea, barley, popped amaranth or hojicha. A wealth of surprising flavours that invites you on a taste journey to the mist-shrouded mountains of Shimane. Background The leaves of mulberry trees are essential in silk production as they are the only source of food for silkworms. They were therefore also cultivated for silk production in Japan for a long time. Due to the advance of artificial fibres, many of the cultivation areas are now fallow. The realisation that mulberry leaves can also be very tasty and nutritious for us humans if processed correctly therefore came just in time to breathe new life into the mulberry groves. Read more about the properties and benefits of mulberry leaves here. Preparation Pour 200ml of hot water (approx. 70°C) over 1 tsp of mulberry leaves and leave to infuse for 2 minutes. A second infusion is possible, but will be significantly weaker. Tip: Also try the mixture with green tea!
