It offers a pleasant balance of light astringency and sweet fragrance. Two types of oilcake fertilizers exist: one made through hexane extraction, commonly used by many producers, and another made through pressing only. The latter avoids the potential harmful substances associated with hexane extraction. By choosing this more labor-intensive pressed oilcake, the producer achieves a cleaner and more flavorful sencha.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003ctable width=\"100%\"\u003e\n\u003ctbody\u003e\n\u003ctr\u003e\n\u003ctd\u003e\n\u003cp\u003eDescription: Organic Sencha Leaves\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003e\u003cmeta charset=\"utf-8\"\u003eHarvest Season: May 2025\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003e\u003cmeta charset=\"utf-8\"\u003eTasting notes: Strong Umami\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003c\/td\u003e\n\u003c\/tr\u003e\n\u003c\/tbody\u003e\n\u003c\/table\u003e","brand":"Akira Katagi","offers":[{"title":"10g Sample","offer_id":51615220728089,"sku":null,"price":98.0,"currency_code":"JPY","in_stock":false},{"title":"1kg","offer_id":51615220760857,"sku":null,"price":9750.0,"currency_code":"JPY","in_stock":true}],"thumbnail_url":"\/\/cdn.shopify.com\/s\/files\/1\/0961\/8142\/0313\/files\/23_824b2e07-d1cd-449d-bb57-eb7827cd1a1d.png?v=1763182324"},{"product_id":"hojicha-by-akira-k","title":"Hojicha by Akira K.","description":"\u003cp class=\"p1\"\u003eThis tea releases a naturally sweet and comforting aroma that gently calms the mind, similar to the soothing effect of aromatherapy. Harvested early in April, the leaves contain significantly less caffeine, making the tea mild enough even for babies and those sensitive to stimulants. The leaves are carefully roasted in a traditional direct-fire drum roaster, allowing them to expand and release a deeper fragrance while maintaining a smooth, non-irritating flavor. Rich in pyrazine, known for its warm roasted aroma, and theanine, which promotes relaxation, this tea offers a naturally calming experience. After brewing, the used leaves can also be reused as fertilizer for garden plants, making it an environmentally friendly choice.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003ctable width=\"100%\"\u003e\n\u003ctbody\u003e\n\u003ctr\u003e\n\u003ctd\u003e\n\u003cp\u003eDescription: Organic Hojicha Leaves\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003e\u003cmeta charset=\"utf-8\"\u003eHarvest Season: April 2025\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003e\u003cmeta charset=\"utf-8\"\u003eTasting notes: Strong Aroma\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003c\/td\u003e\n\u003c\/tr\u003e\n\u003c\/tbody\u003e\n\u003c\/table\u003e","brand":"Akira Katagi","offers":[{"title":"10g Sample","offer_id":51653513216281,"sku":null,"price":25.0,"currency_code":"JPY","in_stock":false},{"title":"1kg","offer_id":51653513249049,"sku":null,"price":2250.0,"currency_code":"JPY","in_stock":true}],"thumbnail_url":"\/\/cdn.shopify.com\/s\/files\/1\/0961\/8142\/0313\/files\/25_570b61c4-cdf6-403e-8761-7bd1f335f1b6.png?v=1763368297"},{"product_id":"sobacha-by-akira-k","title":"Sobacha by Akira K.","description":"\u003cp class=\"p1\"\u003eThis unique blend combines Tartary buckwheat—originally from China and traditionally consumed for its health benefits, including use in diabetes care and herbal medicine—with premium Japanese tea.
