Sago tea is produced in Tsushima, Nagasaki Prefecture.

This tea has the aroma of pot roasting and the scent of ocean. Tsushima is surrounded by the sea, and the tea leaves are grown in the sea breeze, so you can feel the minerals of the sea. The more tea leaves you use, the more salty the scent will be. I think this is a rare tea that is very impressive and allows you to feel the island of Tsushima.

While regular Japanese green tea is steamed to stop the fermentation of the tea leaves, Kamairicha is roasted to stop the fermentation of the tea leaves. Kamairicha is only produced in some regions such as Kyushu, Shikoku, Wakayama, and Shizuoka.

Kamairicha is characterized by its aroma and clear golden color. The taste is similar to Chinese green tea, so it is also recommended for those who like Chinese tea.

FAQ

Which type of of tea can I brew with the teapot?

It can be used for any type of tea. However, unglazed pottery is more likely to absorb the flavor of the tea leaves. By using different tea utensils for each type of tea, you can enjoy the flavor of the tea to the fullest.

For example, in the case of Japanese tea, sencha, fukamushicha, genmaicha, and gyokuro are all in the same family, but since hojicha has a strong roasted aroma, we recommend using a different tea utensil.

However, glazed pottery or porcelain tea utensils do not absorb the flavor of the tea leaves, so they are suitable for brewing various types of tea.

How do you wash a teapot?

Please wash the teapot with water, without using detergent. Ceramic teapots easily absorb detergent ingredients, which can affect the flavor of the tea.

Tea leaves remaining in the teapot are the main cause of tea stains. After brewing tea, we recommend removing the tea leaves once they have cooled and rinsing them with water.

Moisture remaining in the teapot can cause mold. Turning the teapot upside down will help it dry faster.

We do not recommend washing it in the dishwasher. Please wash by hand.

Can I remove tea stains from a teapot?

Here's how to remove tea stains.

1. In a bowl or pot, mix 24g of baking soda with 1 liter of water at 30-40°C.

*Do not use aluminum or Teflon-coated pots as they will react with baking soda.

2. Leave the teapot in the water mentioned in step 1 for 30-60 minutes.

3. Wipe off the tea stains with a soft sponge or cotton swab. Do not use hard sponges or brushes.

4. Rinse the teapot with water.

5. Thoroughly dry the teapot.

*Baking soda water may irritate your hands, so wear rubber gloves.
