Additional Information

Black tea production

Japanese Green Tea

The production of Japanese green tea involves several distinct phases, each critical to developing the tea's unique flavour, color, and aroma:

  • Steaming: Freshly picked tea leaves are quickly heated through steaming to deactivate enzymes and prevent oxidation, preserving the green color and fresh flavor.
  • Primary Drying: The steamed leaves are dried while maintaining a warm temperature, preserving the tea's color and aroma.
  • Kneading: The leaves are kneaded with a rolling motion, evenly spreading their moisture and flavor compounds across the whole leaf .
  • Shaping: The leaves are shaped into various forms to enhance their visual appeal and influence flavor release upon brewing.
  • Drying: The shaped leaves are carefully dried to reduce moisture content, stabilize the flavor, and ensure a long shelf life.

Each step is meticulously controlled to achieve the desired quality and characteristics of the finished green tea.

Organic certification

Organic certification and testing

All our teas are organic certified and tested for pesticides, ensuring they meet stringent quality standards. We steadfastly reject the use of artificial flavors and concentrated aromas. Our approach to creating flavored and blended teas is deeply intentional, involving the in-house selection and combination of each ingredient. Our commitment extends to using only organically certified, whole spices, deliberately avoiding grinding them into fine powders. This choice ensures our teas remain pure and clear, as finely ground spices can release excessive power into the brew, compromising its clarity. The essence of our fruit flavors comes from organic essential oils, obtained through cold press technology to preserve the natural qualities without the degradation that can occur with heat. Proudly, every ingredient in Nannuo Pop is organically certified, embodying our unwavering commitment to purity and quality, without exceptions. This commitment to quality and safety reflects our dedication to providing the best possible product to our customers, with a focus on health and environmental sustainability.
