{"product_id":"matcha-iri-karigane","title":"Matcha Iri Karigane Genmaicha","description":"\u003cp\u003eKarigane is a type of Japanese green tea made primarily from the stems of high-quality tea leaves, particularly gyokuro or sencha. It is also known as kukicha (twig tea), though karigane specifically refers to kukicha made from premium teas. This karigane tea is blended with high quality matcha powder and genmai (roasted brown rice) which results in a comforting and relaxing tea.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003eTASTE NOTES\u003cbr\u003eThis tea is sweet and mellow; the genmai and matcha soften the green-edged character of the karigane.
