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.

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.
