Honyama-cha Organic Kukicha Japanese Green Tea 100g 静岡 本山茶 有機茎茶

SOLD OUT

This organic green tea is made from the stems of the first harvested new tea leaves.
It is characterized by its unique refreshing aroma, elegant taste that easily permeates the throat, and subtle sweetness.
It has a very gentle taste, so it is recommended for those who do not like the astringent taste of tea.
When brewed slowly with hot water cooled to about 80 degrees Celsius, the flavor is extracted from the stems, giving it a deeper taste.

Honyama-cha, the oldest of Shizuoka Prefecture's tea production areas, is produced in the upper reaches of the Abe River, which flows through central Shizuoka Prefecture, and is one of the three major regional brand teas in Shizuoka Prefecture.
The tea gardens in the mountainous areas along the river are shrouded in river mist, and the leaf flesh is softer than that of tea grown on the plains, making it elegant and gentle on the palate, with a fresh and distinctive aroma. This aroma is also called "mountain aroma" and is one of the main characteristics of Honyama-cha.
This single-origin, first-picked Honyama tea is produced at an organic tea plantation over 800 meters above sea level that has been making tea for generations for over 100 years.
