“Karigane” is a regional term for “Kukicha” and means “stalk tea”. While this tea is made predominantly of stalks from a wide variety of bushes, due to the special type of sorting machine used by the Watanabe family there are also quite a lot of leaves and the stalks temselves are very small and fine.
Organic Watanabe Karigane Kukicha from Mankichi Watanabe might make you curious because you are familiar with Mankichi Watanabe’s fabulous Watanabe Asanoyu Tokujou Kabusecha. They come from a small organic tea garden on the romantic and mystical island of Yakushima (reachable by ferry from Kagoshima). The island is a UNESCO world heritage site and is incredibly beautiful. This tea itself reflects the magic and beauty of the island – treat yourself to a cup, close your eyes and let yourself be transported to a place where time has stood still!
