{"title":"Green Roasted Teas","description":"As part of the refining process of green teas from Japan, the dried leaves will have tea leaf bits sorted out (which becomes mecha), tea fannings removed (which becomes konacha), tea stems removed (which becomes kukicha); they might also be blended to create a specific flavor profile or volume size; and finally, they will be green roasted to reduce moisture from about 5% to about 1-2% allowing the leaf to maintain its quality at retail shelves for at least a year without refrigeration. A strong roasting at this point creates a toasty flavor in the leaf without roasting it into hojicha. It is this extra toasty flavor from this heating process that we call \"green roasted\" here at Yunomi.","products":[{"product_id":"yokota-tea-garden-sayamacha-green-roast-sencha","title":"#0747.S2 Yokota Tea Garden:  Sayamacha Green Roast Sencha 狭山火いれ茶","description":"\u003cp\u003eA tradition in the Sayama tea production region, the green-roasting of sencha (火入れ or hi-ire in Japanese) removes the sharp astringency of sencha adding the natural sweetness of roasting without the smokiness.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003ch2\u003eProduct Information\u003c\/h2\u003e\n\u003cul\u003e\n\u003cli\u003eIngredients: Green tea\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003eCultivar: Blend\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003eHarvest: Spring\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003eRegion: Sayama, Saitama\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003eVendor: Yokota Tea Garden\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003eVendor Type: Tea farm, family-owned\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003c\/ul\u003e\n\u003ch2\u003eInstructions\u003c\/h2\u003e\n\u003cp\u003eSee our steeping guidelines here:\u003ca href=\"https:\/\/yunomi-jp.pro\/pages\/japanese-tea-steeping-techniques\"\u003e yunomi-jp.pro\/steep\u003c\/a\u003e\u003c\/p\u003e","brand":"Yokota Tea Garden","offers":[{"title":"10g \/ 0.35 oz \/ Yunomi bag","offer_id":39649515012201,"sku":"ykt-008-010","price":600.0,"currency_code":"JPY","in_stock":true},{"title":"40g \/ 1.4 oz \/ Original bag w\/Yunomi label","offer_id":39649514979433,"sku":"ykt-008-040","price":2400.0,"currency_code":"JPY","in_stock":false},{"title":"MULTIPACK 400g (40g x 10 original bags) \/ 1.4 oz","offer_id":42199464706153,"sku":"ykt-008-040x10","price":21000.0,"currency_code":"JPY","in_stock":false}],"thumbnail_url":"\/\/cdn.shopify.com\/s\/files\/1\/0926\/4578\/files\/YokotaTeaGarden.SayamachaGreenRoastSencha.jpg?v=1762740235"},{"product_id":"yamane-en-green-roasted-fukamushicha-from-higashiyama-shizuoka","title":"PREORDER available late May 🍵 2026 #0128.S5 Yamane-en:  Green-roasted Fukamushicha from Higashiyama, Shizuoka 東山強火造り","description":"\u003cp\u003eGreen-roasting is part of the refinement process of been Japanese green teas.
