SAI0002 "OKUHARUKA" (40g)

Fruity and grinish. Elegant sweetness like Japanese sweets.

The tea has a very delicate and elegant aroma reminiscent of Japanese sweets. The astringent taste, which lingers slightly on the tongue, also helps create a delicate flavor. The tea's flavor changes significantly depending on how you brew it, so you can enjoy both the brewing and drinking experience. We recommend this tea for regular tea drinkers.

It is said that when you compare the taste of tea made with chemical fertilizer and organic fertilizer, you can actually taste the flavor of the tea made with the organic fertilizer, while the chemical fertilizer contains more amino acids, the flavor component.

At Yokotaen, which has a history of 100 years, the fertilizer was changed to organic three years ago, and this year the taste and aroma of the tea has become much better. When you dig up the soil, you can see fungus and small insects here and there, which clearly shows the richness of the soil.

This tea is very delicate and refreshing, with an elegant sweet cherry blossom scent that spreads like Japanese sweets, and an astringent aftertaste that quickly dissipates. The fragile and light aroma is not too assertive, and at first it seems to be a little hidden in the back of the room. As the temperature drops, the aroma opens up, so it is recommended to serve it as a cold tea with ice, or to drink it slowly and over time.
