Organic Green Tea GABA Blend
Japanese tea growers call this tea, KOHEI, which means, "Balanced Character" referring to the four virtues of tea. KOHEI is high-grade green tea, organically grown by Takahashi Yuzo and his mother in Oita, Japan. It is a blend of four cultivars, pan-fired and tumbled in hot drums to express higher levels of GABA (gamma-aminobutyric acid), an essential amino acid known to help reduce stress and promote wellbeing.
KOHEI organic green tea presents with a pale, golden color, and soothes the palate with notes of sweet pea, rose hips, and manuka honey. It is packaged in a charming presentation that depicts Takahashi-san and his mother in sumi-sketch, honoring their commitment to family and the creation of fine organic green tea.
Takahashi Green Tea became the first farm in Oita, Japan to earn a JAS organic certification. The farm is run by second-generation producer Takahashi Yuzo, specializing in tamaryokucha and exploring the health benefits of artisanal blends. Takahashi-san cultivates seven tea varietals, continuing his family’s legacy of organic tea growing and the meticulous preparation of fine Japanese teas.
