About
The idea behind Maruzen Tea Morocco isto bring Japanese tea processing
technology to Morocco in order to serve
the EU and beyond with home-grown
Japanese tea; speciﬁcally Gyokuro,Sencha, Matcha, Hojicha and Genmaicha.
Our tea is grown in Japan where it
undergoes the ﬁrst few steps of the
manufacturing process. It’s from there that
we deliver to Morocco in order to proceedwith the ﬁnal processing steps. This
ensures that we can deliver fresh Japanese
Tea to our customers all over the world.
All of our raw materials are cultivated inJapan along with our tea processing
machines and accessories. The work ethic
and process behind every stage is entirelyJapanese.

GYOKURO
The farming process for Gyokuro is thesame as sencha tea leaves, but is shaded
for approximately three weeks prior toharvest. Through shading, umami* (savoriness)and sweetness is concentrated in theleaves. Gyokuro is high in amino acids
which relax one's mind and body.

GyokuroHigh grade green tea carefully grown undersunshade. Shaded green tea has fresh green
color with concentrated umami* (savoriness) andsweetness.

SENCHA
Grown under sunshine, Sencha is the mostcommon Japanese tea. Just picked leaves
are steamed right away, allowing for fresh
green color and catechins to remain.
Sencha is rich in catechins, a natural
antioxidant with many health beneﬁts.
Depending on the steaming time, there are
two types: Asamushi and Fukamashi.
Asamushi is sencha that is lightly steamed(for about 30 seconds). By steaming in ashort time, the fresh green ﬂavor andbeautiful clear color remains in the leaves.
Fukamushi is deeply steamed sencha (forabout 1 minute or more). As a result of alonger steaming time, it becomes more
powdery than standard sencha but steeps
into a deep-green color with a rich andmild ﬂavor.
