Gokuzyo - Hand Selected by Trained Tea Master
Gokyuzyo translates literally to "The Highest Grade" in Japanese. Among all the green tea harvested, Gokuzyo is the section of the best tea leaves based on taste, water level, aroma and the quality of the leaf itself. Trained masters (called chya-shi in Japanese) pick the best tea leaves by hand, one leaf at a time. Please enjoy the best of what we offer.
Freshly harvested sprouts are steamed right away and dried. We pick and knead the soft, new leaves gently. The process is fairly simple and may not look elegant, however, the aroma is so intense that it makes you feel as if you just got lost in a green tea processing factory.
You can enjoy this tea which includes twig tea, coarse, broken tea leaves, and powdered tea. Crude tea leaves produce a beautifully colored drink with a mild, unique taste.

“Aracha” translates to "Wild Tea" in English, and is also known as crude tea. Aracha is green tea where the process keeps the original shape as it is cropped whereas most green teas that are consumed are refined and processed. In Japan, green tea is usually sold from the farmer to a wholesaler where it gets processed and refined. When the tea is provided to the wholesaler, the form of it is usually the unprocessed Aracha; this type of green tea is normally not distributed to consumers. However, due to being able to enjoy rich and natural taste and flavors, some fans prefer drinking this type.
You can enjoy this tea which includes twig tea, coarse, broken tea leaves, and powdered tea. Crude tea leaves produce a beautifully colored drink with a mild, unique taste.
Aracha is also full of nutrients; more so than other refined tea due to the nature of "natural" state of the tea. It is known that there are four types of catechins (tannins) contained in unprocessed tea leaves: Epicatechin, Epigallocatechin, Epicatechin gallate and Epigallocatechin gallate.
After steam processing in the factory, four new catechins are created, resulting in 8 different types:
Epicatechin → CatechinEpigallocatechin → GallocatechinEpicatechin gallate → Catechin gallateEpigallocatechin gallate → Gallocatechin gallate
When brewed at high temperatures astringency components dissolve readily, releasing more catechins and creating a more astringent tea.
The gallate catechins work to reduce the absorption of fat and cholesterol, meaning Aracha Green Tea is good for any diet.
Though it is not commonly distributed to consumers, this is how green tea has been enjoyed amongst farmers for generations. Arahataen is a farming industry and also owns facilities to process green tea which is how we are able to distribute this type of green tea to consumers easily. The cost is also more economical than other items, as the process is simple and takes less time, enabling us to price the product cheaper for consumers.
Our green tea farms, the Arahataen Green Tea Farms, are geographically and advantageously located in the Shizuoka prefecture in Japan, known for growing the finest of teas. This region has been the center of green tea culture in Japan for centuries. The difference in temperatures on the plateaus during night and day in this region is considered to be one of the main contributory factors to the richness in flavor of green tea. The fog and weather patterns are also considered to play an important role for the highest quality green tea plants.
Our Japanese Green Tea has won various awards for its quality and taste.
