Description

Picked during the first harvest of the year (May in Miyazaki), this kamairicha is certified kama hou by the prefecture of Miyazaki. It was created by Sekiya san, a 10th-dan Master of tea. YOSHIRO is an exceptional kamairicha, made exclusively from the Okumidori cultivar.

This aromatic tea has notes of artichoke hearts, daikon, and chestnuts. It has a nice balance of bitterness and sweetness, with subtle hints of roasted corn and toasted peanut. Enjoying this special tea creates a soothing and comforting sipping experience.
