About the Product
Yoichi Apple Green Tea is a wonderful fruity tea made of Akane apples from Yoichi - the famed orchard district of Hokkaido - blended with the healthful Yame green tea of Fukuoka, in southern Japan.
Akane red apples are carefully chosen from quality local orchards in Yoichi, an orchard town that dates back to before the founding of Hokkaido. Pulp from the apples is cut and dried to preserve the sweetness of the fresh fruit, then blended with Yame green tea, renowned for its rich, sweet taste and nutrients (i.e. theanine, glutamic acid and arginine).
The resulting tea is a delicious blend of fruit and leaf, bringing out the healthful qualities of both the apples and green tea in a brew that can be enjoyed either hot or cold. Within Hokkaido, this tea is only available for sale in the Yoichi area, making it a true specialty item.
A little known fact is that cold-brewed green tea contains as little as 10% of the caffeine of hot-brewed green tea. Green tea is ideal when brewed for 1 - 3 minutes, depending on personal preference, in 75°C spring/purified water. Available in packs of 10 tea bags.

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
