Product Details

Origin: Wazuka (Kyoto), Japan

Grower: Hosoi Kenta. His family began farming tea in the Meiji Era, in Wazuka (one of the most traditional tea-growing regions in Kyoto). He only started farming tea for tencha 10 years ago; his favourite cultivar for this purpose is okumidori. Hosoi San’s main passion is farming; he believes (and we couldn’t agree more) that healthy earth and plants are the basis for mind-blowing tea.

Cultivar: OKUMIDORI (おくみどり) has long been one of our favourite cultivars.With

rich umami and low astringency, this relatively rare cultivar

(reportedly accounting for less than 3% of Japan’s yearly harvest) was

first developed for sencha, in Shizuoka, in the 1970s.
