Description:

This is “Okumidori,” a standard steamed sencha tea from Tomichaen, a tea farm in Tenryu Ward, Hamamatsu City, Shizuoka Prefecture. The tea plants are cultivated without pesticides or herbicides, requiring considerable time and effort, and the leaves are carefully hand-picked.

Okumidori is a variety originally developed for producing high-grade teas like gyokuro and matcha, so it features a robust umami flavor.

It also offers a pleasant, nutty aroma reminiscent of roasted rice, providing a soothing experience.

Combining a honey-like sweetness with a moderate astringency that lingers, it results in a well-balanced sencha.

Enjoy it at home during your personal time, or when entertaining someone special, making it perfect for moments of relaxation.
