Tea Pairing
Best moment of the day: For Breaks
Japanese tea is traditionally offered with Japanese sweets. They also pair very well with all sorts of meals, either for breakfast, lunch, breaks, or even dinner (for the lower-caffeine tea).
During his years of serving tea to his dear customers, Mohei's knowledge of the flavors and characteristics of his teas allows him to share the wonders of an exceptional green tea served with the right food. When paired well, Japanese tea can unlock further benefits such as better digestion, better diet, or enhanced sensation of satiety.
Dry Fruits
Hoshitsukiyo is best appreciated with light and fruity snacks
Let customers speak for us
This matcha is a wonderful matcha with balanced taste between bitterness and sweetness. It has a briljant structure and is very good to make a wonderful matcha tea. I'll recommend this one to everybody!
Your tea is absolutely delicious. It was my first experience with the genuine Japan tea. Mohei - I had the opportunity to taste all of your flavours. Currently I am staying in Karpacz. I am drinking Sencha Ginger- tasty as it can be. I have never drunk so delicious tea. I wish Poland could try your tea :)
Excellent tea direct from Japan -this was an exciting experiment for me!
It is very easy to handle. The Taste is perfect.
Top quallity! Best sencha I have tasted, ever. Thank you for your hard work!!!
This is not a bitter tea; it has a more malty flavor and may be great for anyone that is not so find of the grassy and/or bitter components of green tea. There is a slight parallel with rooibos tea in that both have a decidedly "soft" mouth feel as well, but I would say that Genmaicha has a much deeper and more interesting flavor profile than plain rooibos. I definitely recommend to give this one a try.
Danke Mohei Tee.
Danke dass ihr die Tee Tradition am Leben haltet. Ich würde 10 Sterne für die Teebox geben, wenn ich könnte.
Bei jeder Sorte spürt man die feinen und natürlichen Geschmäcker heraus.
Danke dass ich soger in der Schweiz diese feinen Tees geniessen kann.
Danke Mohei. Your the best and your work is so important. Thanx thanx thanx
I have never used a Kyusu to brew my tea before. I looked at the pots but didn't see the point, now I do. This pot is high quality. The craftmanship beyond what I can find locally. Well balanced, easy to brew and pour and to clean. It looks good on my shelf where it earns lots of well deserved complements. I plan to be very carful of this pot but should it ever fall and break, I would not hesitate to replace it. A word on Mohei. I have fallen in love with this company. Everything I have received from them has been high quality, exceeding my expectations.
This type of tea has a full, rounded aroma! The perfect taste sensation
