Mizudashi Kaltaufguss

Cold Brew Grüntee

So schnell, so einfach und so so lecker! Erfrischender Mizudashi-Kaltaufguss oder kalt zubereiteter Matcha "on the rocks". Hier gibt's die Tees und das passende Zubehör für die Zubereitung!

Während sich die Gerbstoffe bei niedriger Aufgusstemperatur auch bei längerer Ziehzeit kaum zeigen, kommen die süßlichen Aromen der im Tee enthaltenen Aminosäuren bei der Zubereitung mit kaltem Wasser besonders gut zur Geltung, Gerade bei intensiv gedämpften Tees entsteht außerdem eine leuchtend grüne Aufgussfarbe, die sich lange hält.

Je nach Teesorte sollte die Ziehzeit zwar ein wenig angepasst werden, die Zubereitung an sich bleibt jedoch erstaunlich simpel und nimmt meist nur wenige Minuten in Anspruch. Am schnellsten ist der easy Ice Tea zubereitet (Teebeutel in eine Wasserflasche hängen, schütteln, fertig!), etwas mehr Geduld braucht die Zubereitung eines Slow Drip Tropftees mit dem Ooika Teebereiter - diese wird jedoch reich belohnt mit einem völlig neunen Spektrum an Aromen.

Mehr Infos zur Mizudashi Zubereitung erfahren Sie hier!

Doch nicht nur Blatttee kann kalt zubereitet werden, auch Matcha kann kalt aufgeschlagen oder für eine besonders feine und dichte Crema im Schäker zubereitet werden!

Sae Gyokuro 2024 - Organic Japanese Green Tea

The organic cultivation of fully shaded Gyokuro is an art that finds its perfection in this exclusive tea. Enjoy the velvety texture and a pristine aroma with the innocent fruity sweetness reminiscent of young sugar peas, which results from an especially high theanine content. From the prized cultivar Sae Midori our farmers have created a real treasure: the Sae Gyokuro. With a velvety texture, a pristine aroma and an innocent sweetness reminiscent of young sugar peas. A tea that invites you to dream. As a seasonal tea, Sae Gyokuro is only harvested once a year and available only while stocks last. In two stages, the tea plants are shaded for a total of 3 weeks and slightly steamed (chumushi). We recommend three infusions at 50-60°C for this tea, the fruity aromas are particularly effective in cold infusion. Fully shaded teas from organic cultivation are particularly rare, as the tea plants are also particularly prone to parasites in the strong shade and special diligence and experience are required for cultivation. However, the effort is rewarded with a very special, multifaceted density of aromas. In order to preserve the precious flavours and ingredients of the tea as best as possible, we recommend to seal the bag well and store it cool and dark in the refrigerator or freezer.

Tenbu Fuka - Organic Japanese Green Tea

Tenbu Fuka, Tenbu = "dance in heaven", is picked in mid-April. In the cup of deepest dark green, in the echo truly "infinite". Even for connoisseurs of top quality green teas a surprise and in Japan a rarity. Kabusecha Kabusecha is a green tea for which the tea plants are shaded, thus forming a high content of chlorophyll and other active ingredients and at the same time little bitter substances. Their characteristic "shade aroma" is called "ooika". Fukamushicha Like many KEIKO teas, this is an intensively steamed tea (Fukamushi-cha, 100 - 120 seconds steaming time). Due to the gentle steaming process, the leaf pores open and the extracts from the tea leaf reach the water more easily and quickly. This can be recognized by the deep green tea colour in the cup and the yield of the tea - with top qualities up to 4 infusions are possible! Cold Brew Intensively steamed early pickings are also particularly suitable for cold infusions (Mizudashi or Cold Brew). By infusing the leaves with cold water you will get an intensive and refreshing tea after only a few minutes. Since the bitter substances do not dissolve as strongly in cold water, the sweet aromas of the Kabusecha are especially noticeable. Storage In order to preserve the precious flavours and ingredients of the tea as best as possible, we recommend to seal the bag well and store it cool and dark - ideally in your refrigerator or freezer.

Sae Tezumi 2024 - Organic Japanese Green Tea

Sae Tezumi is made from the award winning cultivar Sae Midori using only the best leaves carefully selected and picked by hand. The result is a wonderfully clear, lively tea with a fresh sweetness, a light green cup and a slight aroma of fresh pine needles in spring. The harvest by hand also entails a smaller harvest amount - so get your share now, stocks are limited! Kabusecha is a green tea for which the tea plants are shaded, thus forming a high content of chlorophyll and other active ingredients and at the same time little bitter substances. Their characteristic "shade aroma" is called "ooika". <h3>Preparation</h3> For the hot infusion of Sae Tezumi , we recommend an infusion temperature of 65°C and a brewing time of 70 seconds for the first infusion. For the second infusion, a shorter infusion time of about 30 seconds is sufficient, you can then let the last infusion steep a little longer again (70 sec) to bring out the full flavor. The Sae Tezumi is a normal steamed tea (Chumushi) and also suitable for cold infusions (Mizudashi). Infusing this tea with cold water will take a little longer than for Fukamushi tea but creates a slightly sweet, light taste and a light green colour. Simply steep the tea leaves for about 7-10 minutes. Since the bitter substances do not dissolve as strongly in cold water, the sweet aromas of the Kabusecha are especially noticeable. In order to preserve the precious flavours and ingredients of the tea as best as possible, we recommend to seal the bag well and store it in a cool and dark place in the refrigerator or freezer.

Shincha Classic 2024 - Organic Japanese Green Tea

The Yutaka Midori cultivar gives the Shincha Classic its familiar fresh green aroma and rich colour. The combination with a proportion of the exquisite cultivar Sae Midori results in a full-bodied, smooth flavour with fine umami, a light fruitiness and a subtle astringency. Special features Shincha - the ‘new tea’ heralds the start of the tea year every spring. The first tea from the fine, particularly aromatic leaf tips, which are harvested in the subtropical climate of Kagoshima as early as mid-April. In order to capture the fresh flavour in the best possible way, shincha is dried a little more lightly in the final processing stage than is usual for sencha. Cultivars:80% Yutaka Midori from the KEIKO organic farm in Kawanabe (Chiran) and from the Komaki brothers (Minami-Satsuma)20%Sae Midori from the Komaki brothers (Minami-Satsuma) Kabusecha is a green tea that is produced by shading the tea plants for 7-10 days before harvesting, which results in a high content of chlorophyll and other active ingredients and a low level of bitterness. Their characteristic ‘shade flavour’ is called ‘ooika’. Early harvests such as Shincha Yume also have a particularly high theanine content, which is noticeable in the sweet flavour. Preparation We recommend an infusion temperature of around 60-65°C. Allow the first infusion to infuse for about 1 minute. A few seconds are then enough to extract the flavour from the leaves. For the last infusion, you can increase the infusion time again to tease out all the flavour. If the tea still turns out stronger than desired, the flavour intensity can be slightly adjusted by adding a little more water. Deep steamed early harvests are particularly suitable for cold infusions (mizudashi). Even with cold water, Shincha Yume develops a particularly silky texture and a refreshing clarity of flavour after just 5 minutes of infusion. The sweet theanine notes also come into their own particularly well, as the bitter substances do not dissolve as much in cold water. Storage To preserve the tea's valuable flavours and ingredients as much as possible, please close the bag tightly and store it in a cool, dark place in the fridge or freezer.

Benifuuki Powder - Organic Japanese Tea Powder

The tea cultivar Benifuuki is characterised by a particularly high content of catechins (EGCG and EGCG3) which are readily available to the body and for this reason it is often drunk in Japan for allergies such as hay fever. PreparationBenifuuki Powder can be whisked up with water using a Chasen, just like Matcha.The catechins give this golden green powder a strong and astringent aroma, which makes it very economical in use. Already half the usual (Matcha-)dosage results in a finely fragrant tea. Aficionados like to drink it pure. For those who find the taste too tart, we recommend a mild dosage, a combination with mild mulberry leaf powder or the use as a supplement in drinks and food. Prepared with a little water and lemon and/or apple juice, it is, for example, a wonderfully refreshing drink. Storage In order to preserve the precious flavours and ingredients of the powder in the best possible way, we recommend to seal the bag well and store it in a cool and dark place, ideally in your refridgerator or freezer.

Cold brewer "ooika"

Item No. 42200 The Ooika- Cold brewer for the preparation of drip tea can be used with hot OR cold water. However, it is ideal especially for cold brew green tea highlighting the rich yet sweet green fragrance of high quality Kabusecha, known amongst tea-connoisseurs as Ooika. The Cold brewer consists of two glass vessels which are connected with a rubber base with a small opening, which lets the water drip into the stainless steel strainer underneath and then into the lower vessel. To prepare your cold drip Green Tea measure 2-3 teaspoons of tea into the sieve (make sure the tea covers the bottom of the strainer evenly) and fill the upper vessel with 600 to 900ml of water. You can also use ice cubes to make a Kouridashi-brew, either letting them melt slowly to drip over the tea or just add them to your tea once its ready. The preparation takes between 25 and 45 minutes. You can adjust the speed by pushing the little knob deeper into the rubber base to slow the water flow or pulling it back out to speed it up. Best suited for this type of preparation is deep steamed (fukamushi) Kabusecha from an early picking, as these will best release the aroma and all the valuable ingredients of the tea but also the least astringency. Our Tip: Serve the cold drip tea in wine-glasses to surprise your dinner guests with a tasty refreshing alternative to alcohol!

Aracha Shincha 2024 - Organic Japanese Green Tea

Aracha Shincha brings the uniquely green, fresh Ooika flavour of the Aracha raw tea to Europe. With its wild, intensely green and grassy scent of freshly harvested tea fields, it conjures up the tea spring directly in our cups and is the closest to the original flavour of the tea plant.Special Features Shincha (the ‘new tea’) is made from the first tender leaves of spring - a vintage tea from the first early plucking in April, which surprises with its fresh flavour every year. Aracha is a partially processed green tea, which is reflected in its original, natural flavour. When tasting the raw teas directly after harvesting, they are brewed in particularly high doses and hot in order to savour the special characteristics of the tea. The higher infusion temperature (around 70°C) also brings out the flavour of this tea particularly well - let yourself be whisked away to the tea gardens of Kagoshima with the intense grassy aroma of freshly steamed tea leaves! cultivars:Yutaka Midori from the KEIKO organic farm in Kawanabe (Chiran) Asanoka from the Komaki brothers (Minami-Satsuma)Yabukita from the KEIKO organic farm in Kawanabe (Chiran)This year's Aracha is again composed of three cultivars, which are perfectly matched with their different flavours and aromas - grassy with a lively spiciness. Like many KEIKO teas, this tea is an intensively steamed tea (Fukamushi-cha, 100 - 120 seconds steaming time). The gentle steaming opens the leaf pores and the extracts are released from the tea leaf into the water more easily and quickly. This can be recognised by the deep green tea colour in the cup and the yield of the tea. Early harvests such as Aracha Shincha also have a particularly high theanine content, which is noticeable in the sweet flavour. Aracha is not yet ‘sorted’ as a raw tea - it therefore still contains some larger leaves as well as very fine bits of the leaves. PreparationTo emphasise the fresh fragrance, the infusion temperature can be set a little higher at 65-75°C.. Intensely steamed early harvests are particularly suitable for cold infusions (mizudashi). Even with cold water, Shincha Classic develops a particularly silky texture and a refreshing clarity after just a few minutes of infusion. The sweet theanine notes also come into their own particularly well, as the bitter substances do not dissolve as much in cold water. Storage Please note that Shincha Aracha is a raw tea and less dried than all other KEIKO teas. Aracha should therefore be enjoyed fresh and not stored for too long - we have set the best before date for this tea at 6 months from production here in Diepholz; we store it frozen! We therefore recommend closing the bag tightly and storing it in a cool, dark place in the fridge or freezer to preserve the tea's valuable flavours and ingredients as much as possible.

Shincha Yume 2024 - Organic Japanese Green Tea

A harmonious, multi-layered tea with a velvet-like soft texture, that develops into a fruity sweetness on the tongue. This year, we have once again refined the dream flavour of the Yume Kaori cultivar with the sweet note of the Sae Midori cultivar. Special features Shincha - the ‘new tea’ heralds the start of the tea year every spring. The first tea from the fine, particularly aromatic leaf tips, which are harvested in the subtropical climate of Kagoshima as early as mid-April. In order to capture the fresh flavour in the best possible way, shincha is dried a little lighter than usual for sencha in the final processing stage, giving the teas a special freshness that seems particularly pronounced in Shincha Yume. Cultivars: 70% Yume Kaori from the KEIKO organic farm in Kawanabe (Chiran) 30% Sae Midori from the Komaki brothers (Minami-Satsuma) Kabusecha is a green tea produced by shading the tea plants for a period of 7-10 days before harvesting, which results in a high content of chlorophyll and other active ingredients and a low level of bitterness. Their characteristic ‘shade flavour’ is called ‘ooika’. Early harvests such as Shincha Yume also have a particularly high theanine content, which is noticeable in the sweet flavour. Preparation We recommend an infusion temperature of around 60°C for a particularly round, flowery flavour. Leave the first infusion to infuse for about 1 minute. A few seconds are then enough to extract the flavour from the leaves. For the last infusion, you can increase the infusion time again to tease out all the flavour. If the tea still turns out stronger than desired, the flavour intensity can be slightly adjusted by adding a little more water. Deep steamed early harvests are particularly suitable for cold infusions (mizudashi). Even with cold water, Shincha Yume develops a particularly silky texture and a refreshing clarity of flavour after just 5 minutes of infusion. The sweet theanine notes also come into their own particularly well, as the bitter substances do not dissolve as much in cold water. Storage To preserve the tea's valuable flavours and ingredients as much as possible, please close the bag tightly and store it in a cool, dark place in the fridge or freezer.
