GYOKURO KARIGANE-S 50g

Original 50g pack, also suitable for archiving.
 
The name Karigane - "Cry of the Wild Goose" is an old name, originally from Kyoto, used for the finest varieties of kukicha made from shaded teas. The name came about through observation of nature.  
In fact, wild geese, during their migration, sometimes land on pieces of wood carried by the river to rest .... And the dangling stems of the karigane resemble pieces of floating wood. 
 
Karigane is made from the stalks of gyokuro tea and can vary in quality depending on which cut it comes from. This Karigane is from the first best cut.
Compared to other gyokuro, karigane has significantly lower caffeine content, with high L-Theanine content.
