This matcha tea is made from Okumidori tea from the prefecture of Kagoshima.
Good to know: originating in the prefecture of Shizuoka in the 1970s, Okumidori tea is an invigorating, highly aromatic tea. It is known for its refreshing green notes and nutty flavour, ending on a floral note when drunk with hot water. Very famous for producing the finest sencha teas, it is now mainly used for gyokuro and matcha teas.
About Chasho Rokubei
Founded in 1818 in Kyoto, the Chasho Rokubei tea house has been a family business for over 200 years. While the core business remains Uji matcha tea and blended matcha teas, Chasho Rokubei also offers single-origin teas, i.e. from a single variety and a single grower. All growers are carefully selected and many of the teas meet organic standards. The packaging is based on the famous illustrated scroll and national treasure ‘Chôjû-giga’ from Kyoto’s Kôzanji temple, with the temple’s permission.
