Ohmi 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 beautifully clean waters and air coming from the surrounding Suzuka mountains.
According to the legends, Zen monks brought the first tea seeds to the area in the 14th century from Kyoto, so zen temples cultivated Ohmi tea first. Thanks to its characteristic aromas, by the 19th century, it became much in demand, even for export.

STEP 1) Warm your teapot. Pour boiling water into a teapot, let it sit for a little while, then pour it into cups, to let it cool down to 80℃ (176ºF).
STEP 2) Fill your pot with tea leaves in a 5g/200ml ratio.
STEP 3) Pour the water from the cups into the teapot, and brew for 60 seconds.
STEP 4) Pour the tea into the cups, and serve.
STEP 5) Brew again. The same tea leaves can be infused three times. Use hotter water for the second and third infusion, but steep for a shorter time.
❖ This is how we recommend brewing this tea, but we all have our preferences, so try experimenting to find the way you like it the best.
A Kabusecha that almost a Gyokuro. Sweet, creamy, very comforting. Could be an excellent daily tea.

Smooth and mellow, decently sweet with a subtle umami flavor. The umami is mostly present in the first steeping and the flavor drops off by the second-third steeping but I tend to steep mine for a little longer.
