About our introductory articles


According to an old story in Japan, thieves and spies tended not to steal into in the season when newly-picked tea tasted nice like today. The new tea is delicious, which often makes them drink a lot. People seldom fall asleep or hardly sleep tight by caffeine, then. So they say it is not good to steal into in the season.

Now, sleeping is very important to everybody. It is supposed that there are many pressed for sleeplessness out of stress or hypertension. When so are you, it is difficult for you enjoying the newly-picked tea no matter how tasty it is. But you can with the low caffeine deep-steam green tea; Tabimakura produced by Lupicia, a Japanese store specializing in tea.


They say they got to develop the low caffeine tea answering many requests. It means it is in demand so much and other rival companies also supply. Why are we recommending Lupicia’s? Because, in fact, most rivals use second picked tea leaves or third. Their products naturally taste light, then. But it brings disgrace on Lupicia to pretend palely. For having tea freaks unable to suppress a grunt of admiration, they contrived many times for making delicious tea cutting caffeine.

Let me explain here how Lupicia did it. They pour hot water over fresh leaves for a brief and safely cut more than half of caffeine without damaging tea flavor. Using first-grade tea cultivated in Shizuoka and steaming deeply, they produce the low caffeine tea with perfect taste and flavor.


Kind: Yabukita

Tea Kind: Deep-steamed

In old times of Japan, they used to have the tea picked among spring to early summer and pray for their sound health. We have recently felt uneasy every summer, for global warming and El Nino. Sleeping is said to be a panacea. I believe it gives you something good to pray for a perfect state of health and to enjoy the low caffeine tea; Tabimakura.
