Matsuba Tea 100g x 4 Bag Set | Harvested in 2025, 100% Akamatsu Pine Needles from Tokushima Prefecture This is a popular 4-bag set, perfect for those who want to drink it every day or share it with family and friends. Many repeat customers love it, and it's especially chosen by those who want to continue drinking it for a long time. We use pine needles (pine needles) from wild Akamatsu pine trees that grow naturally in the mountains of Tokushima. From May to July, we carefully hand-pick only the young, soft leaves, and dry them slowly while controlling the temperature to preserve their aroma and color. Pine needles stay green all year round, so they can be harvested at any time, but the timing of the harvest is very important if you value quality and flavor. The difference is honestly reflected in the aroma and the way it tastes. Since it is not roasted, it is a natural tea that allows you to feel the original soft green color of the red pine needles and the refreshing aroma. [How to Enjoy] Put 3g of pine needles in a teapot or tea pot, pour about 150cc of hot water, and let it steep for 1-2 minutes to your desired strength. The extracted liquid is light, but you can still feel the aroma strongly. 100g is a guide for about 30-35 cups. ● Contents: 100g x 4 bags ● Ingredients: Akamatsu pine needles (pine needles) ● Origin: Tokushima Prefecture (wild) ● Harvest season: 2025 ● Cultivation: No pesticides used (naturally harvested) ● Processing: Selected and dried in Japan ● Storage: Store in a cool, dark place away from direct sunlight and high temperature and humidity.
