Description: The leaf style of this 2019 light-steamed green tea is similar to that of Gyokuro. The cup has a classic umami flavor and an earthy, vegetal profile.

This tea was produced by a family owned tea company that was founded in 1869 in Shizuoka, Japan. It’s owned and run by the same family for five generations now. We've worked with these folks for six years. Their teas, their skill, and their warmth are unmatched. Their tea factory is located near the Nissaka area of Shizuoka, not far from Mt. Fuji.
