The Tea Spot, Philanthropic Colorado Tea Company, Welcomes Spring with the New Japanese Orchid Green Tea
Boulder, CO (PRWEB) March 25, 2015 -- The Tea Spot, a whole leaf tea company, is celebrating spring by launching their newest tea, Japanese Orchid Green. This refreshing Japanese green tea, also known as Iccha Kariban, has natural floral notes of orchid and lily of the valley. With its launch, The Tea Spot is offering online customers a 20% discount on this tea, as well as all other products in the Spring Green Teas collection. This collection of green teas includes bestsellers such as Organic Clouds and Mist and the vibrant Matcha Genmaicha, a rejuvenating combination of traditional Japanese green tea, roasted rice, and matcha. The Spring Tea promotion is available at their online tea store through Friday, March 27, 2015, by entering the promo code "springgreen" during checkout.
Japanese Orchid Green provides an irresistible blend of sweet floral notes and umami, creating a lush combination that is tastefully fragrant. Originating from Kagoshima, the southernmost island of Japan, this tea is equally smooth whether prepared hot, iced, or cold-brewed. As the Tea Spot is committed to producing fresh high-quality teas, its whole leaf approach allows customers to experience a new complex flavor of tea. Japanese green tea is often praised for its powerful ability to increase endurance, metabolism, and mental focus; these properties make the Japanese Orchid Green ideal for energizing tea drinkers as they enter into this new season with extended daylight hours.
CMO of The Tea Spot, Jessica Kochik, comments: "We're thrilled to be able to offer this incredible Japanese green tea to our customers. It rounds out our Japanese Tea selection beautifully. The light floral notes are unique, and the thick body yields the quintessential texture loved by Japanese tea enthusiasts."
The integral flavor of Japanese Orchid Green is best described as umami. Translating from “pleasant savory taste” in Japanese, umami characterizes food and beverages that subtlety blend with other tastes to improve and expand the overall flavor profile. The ease with which the green tea character of the Japanese Orchid Green fuses with its floral notes is a testament to its perfect manifestation of umami, the fifth taste.
Four ounce tins of Japanese Orchid Green are available at theteaspot.com for $19.95, and 5-serving samples are $5.00 each.
