Description

ORIGIN & HARVEST TIME

Wazuka, Uji, Kyoto, 2024 Japan

CHARACTER

Okumidori is a bush variety from the 1970s, originating in Shizuoka. It is a dark-leaved, late-maturing tea that is full-bodied, vibrant, and promising both in appearance and taste. The infusion is greenish-yellow and dense, giving the impression of a heavy, bitter tea. However, the tea is surprisingly fresh and sweet, with floral, citrus, and tangy notes and flavors blending into its primarily vegetal, doughy character. It’s fine, intriguing, and entertaining, creating a beautiful, rounded experience from the diverse flavors.

Organic – bio-grown tea. Offered in its original 50-gram package.
