About the Product
Snow Aged Green Tea is a unique, satisfying green tea fused from Japanese traditional tea culture along with Hokkaido pioneer farming techniques.
Selected green tea leaves from Kyushu - in the far south of Japan - are shipped north to Hokkaido and stored beneath the legendary snows for a period of one month. This curing technique brings out the natural sweetness of the leaves.
A little known fact is that cold-brewed green tea contains as little as 10% of the caffeine of hot-brewed green tea. Only limited amounts of this unique tea are produced every year, so why not treat yourself or surprise your tea-loving family and friends.
Green tea is ideal when brewed for 1 - 3 minutes, depending on personal preference, in 75°C spring/purified water. Available in loose leaf, Snow Aged Green Tea can be consumed hot or cold.

about the producer
Uji Seicha is a family-owned tea company with a 55 year history in Sapporo! Founder Hitoshi Inoue was first sent to Hokkaido as an executive of a Kyoto-based tea company, a job he left to independently establish Uji Seicha in 1965 in Tsukisamu, Sapporo. His mission - to introduce quality Japanese teas to new markets - continues to this day. Current President Takashi Inoue, like his father, maintains the family passion for tea production, while striving to master both original varieties and time-tested classics. Inoue san utilizes proprietary techniques and local ingredients to take advantage of the cold, northern climate of Hokkaido. Uji Seicha works with trusted tea farmers throughout Japan to bring selected teas to the company's Sapporo facility for production. The Inoue family mission - to introduce quality Japanese teas to new customers - remains strong, and in 2010 they opened their showcase café in their small corner of Sapporo. The intimate café serves their entire line of teas, along with paired food and a variety of merchandise. We can only hope that the Inoue family business continues for another 55 years! ingredients
