Premium green tea with a well-liked flavorful taste
Ohmicha (Ohmi Tea) is the name of the teas produced in Shiga Prefecture, which is next to Kyoto Prefecture. Among them, the one that boasts the greatest volume of production is Tuchiyamacha grown and harvested in Tsuchiyama Town, a town located in the southeast of the prefecture. The tea, known as Ohmi Tsuchiyama Tea, has great prestige and is loved by many for its rich flavor and fragrance, which are brought about by the rich nature, plenty of sunshine and the beautiful water and air from the surrounding Suzuka mountains.
This tea is a Premium tea (Kōkyū) from this area.
Chaju is the name for a high-grade Ohmi sencha tea also produced in Shiga.
Its sweet flavor, clear light-green color, and refreshing fragrance are due to the mountains and mountain streams that pour into Lake Biwa, the largest lake in Japan. Our trading-partner tea producers carefully select the leaves that have the quality of these flavor, color, and fragrance. It is truly a luxurious tea that has both the cooling flavor of sencha and the mild “umami” flavor of kabusecha.
Chaju in Japanese means “108 years old” and this tea was given this name hoping that it would bring longevity to those who drink it.

How to prepare
5 g 0.2 oz 1.2 US tsp
60°C 140°F
100 ml 3.4 fl oz 100 cc
45 sec.~
1. Put 5 g of tea leaves into a Japanese teapot.
2. Cool boiled water down to 60℃ and pour it into the teapot.
3. Steep for 45 seconds and pour the equal amount of tea in each cup.
The same tea leaves can be used three times. Use hotter water for the second and third infusions.
Used tea leaves should be immersed for a shorter time.
The taste of tea is a matter of preference, so try infusing tea in several ways and find your favorite taste.
I have tried several types of preparation and several types of water and have not found a way to prepare the tea to suit me. There is a grassy and a bit of citrus in the taste, but mostly an almost sharp bitterness that is reminiscent of very young sheng puerh and is very noticeable even at low temperature. The umami is rather medium. Finally, I came up with an even more acceptable way to prepare the tea, namely by decanting immediately after pouring. Definitely not a tea I prefer, though.

I finally found a way to make the tea. 5 g/150 ml, 70 °C, 1:30 min., water with higher mineral content. Then the tea will give a nice infusion with full umani, a trace of herbs, a slight sweetness, no bitterness.

A very mellow sencha with a rich, smooth taste. It's surprising this far into the year how fresh the scent was when I opened the bag. Easy to brew and the results were very good with water temperatures of 158 F to 176F.
