Imported directly from our friends’ award-winning farm in Shizuoka, this single-origin green tea offers a delicate balance of umami and a melon-like sweetness achieved through a meticulous hand-rolling process. This technique not only enhances the flavor, but it also results in the leaves' uniform shape and glossy exterior.
A message from the farmer:
“This is a tea with an elegant taste. If you usually drink high-quality tea, I recommend this.”
