Here's the Karigane I ordered. It's excellent, considering the price. Sometimes Karigane feels like a sin to drink because it's so rich and packs a huge punch since it's, well, it's basically the industrial waste of gyokuro production. The stems, scraggly bits of leaves and veins of a renounced type of fine tea and retains much of the charm. Umami and sweet in a vegetal grassy way, and very powerful, so it may become my morning routine again. #tea #karigane #shiraore
