Description
- Single Origin Sencha from Kyushu - Volcanic Tea
- Deep-steamed for mellow, smooth taste
- Beautiful deep green colour
- Ideal with traditional sweets or meals
- Family business spanning several generations
- Craft tea farm in Japan's southern Island of Kyushu
Okumiyako is this farm's signature sencha, made by covering the tea bushes before harvest to concentrate sweetness and umami components such as theanine. The leaves are then carefully deep-steamed, creating a velvety mouthfeel, minimal astringency, and a round, full-bodied flavour in the cup.
The tea has a beautiful, rich jade-green colour, with a gentle, lingering aroma that pairs wonderfully with traditional Japanese sweets as well as everyday meals. This tea is ideal both for welcoming special guests and for enjoying a quiet daily moment of indulgence.
How to use:
Infuse 3 g in 150 ml of water at around 70–75°c for 1 minute to bring out the tea’s umami and sweetness while keeping bitterness low.
