This tea is a blend of first-harvest Okumidori, Saemidori, Inaguchi, and Asahikari cultivars. It’s milled from tea leaves that are shaded from direct sunlight for 3-4 weeks before harvest to preserve their vibrant, verdant hue. Sourced by Portland-based Mizuba Tea Co. from Honyama, a region historically prized by shoguns for its exceptional teas.
