Great Eastern Sun®
Great Eastern Sun proudly offers their fine line of 100% Certified Organic teas. Haiku Japanese and One World English teas come from the same plant, Camellia sinensis, a relative of the common camellia. What makes them different from each other is the presence or absence of fermentation, and the length of time of fermentation. Our Mandala organic herbal teas are produced from the highest quality, certified organic herbs. We guarantee that no ingredient of GES Organic Teas has been genetically engineered or modified, extracted using chemical solvents, or irradiated.

Our fine line of English Tea is the only tea line in North America composed exclusively of organic black tea. Independent certification assures that no chemical fertilizers, fungicides, herbicides, or pesticides are used on the estates where our teas are grown and processed. Our teabags are made from oxygen-bleached natural fibers with individual cellophane wraps on each teabag to preserve freshness. Our ink is soy-based and our tea boxes are 100% recycled paperboard coated with a water-based varnish. GES donates two percent of net total sales of this new line to the World Federalist Association to further their work towards achieving a stable planetary government in order to end war among nations.

Japanese Green Original Sencha, C 
In the early spring, farmers in the Uji district, traditional center of the Japanese tea industry, cover the tender young leaves with bamboo screens to protect them from the afternoon sun. While most farmers use these shade-grown leaves to produce Matcha, the green tea powder used in the tea ceremony, the Nagata family processes these prized leaves into Sencha, the highest quality leaf. The bud and top two leaves are cut, steamed, rolled into tight curls, dried slowly in ovens, then packed to seal in the fresh taste and aroma of just-picked tea. In order to insure the richest, most authentic green tea flavor, always two full grams of 100% Nagata Japanese Organic Sencha Tea, the finest quality in the world. True connoisseurs of Japanese green tea will drink nothing else.

Japanese Roasted Green Hojicha, C 
By early summer in the Uji district, traditional center of the Japanese tea industry, tea leaves grow too large and coarse for the Nagata family to make into Sencha. The Nagatas steam these leaves to prevent fermentation, mix them with volcanic sand, and roast them in revolving ovens to make Hojicha. The sand, later removed, helps the leaves roast slowly and evenly. Roasting further neutralizes the leaves’ already weak astringent and stimulating qualities (tea leaves contain less caffeine as they grow older)and gives this tea its distinctive smoky or nutty flavor. The result is unparalleled taste and quality, as perfectly balanced as a poem. In order to insure the richest, most authentic flavor, Haiku Roasted Green Tea teabags are always two full grams of 100% Nagata Organic Japanese Hojicha Tea, the finest quality in the world. Try it and you will understand why true connoisseurs of Japanese roasted green tea will drink nothing else.

Japanese Twig (Kukicha/Bancha), C 
During the fall in the Uji district, traditional center of the Japanese tea industry, the Nagata family turns to the harvest of tea twigs for Kukicha, the “peasant's drink”, so-called because farmers drank it after selling the leaves to sophisticated urbanites as a cash crop. The Nagatas carefully select 40% medium 3-yr, 40% thick 10-yr, and 20% thin twigs and leaves aged 1 year, before gently roasting each variety separately to bring out its rich flavor. Because caffeine is concentrated in the leaves, twig tea is low in caffeine and can be drunk even at night. Haiku® Twig Tea teabags are always two full grams of 100% Nagata Japanese Organic Kukicha Tea, the finest quality in the world. Try it and you will understand why true connoisseurs of Japanese twig tea will drink nothing else.
