Details & Attributes

It has a rich umami taste with hints of seaweed, seashore, and soup stock, and a sweet taste that does not linger, but the astringent taste slips away.
While the richness and body are definitely solid, they do not linger forever and disappear easily. As the brewing is repeated, there is a sweetness derived from the aging process in the greenness, and an acidity that lightly presses down on the tongue. Finally, the greenness is felt. There is no bitterness.

Tea Pairing

Best moment of the day:Breakfast - Lunch - Breaks 

Japanese tea is traditionally offered with Japanese sweets. They also pair very well with all sorts of meals, either for breakfast, lunch, breaks, or even dinner (for the lower-caffeine tea).

During his years of serving tea to his dear customers, Mohei's knowledge of the flavors and characteristics of his teas allows him to share the wonders of an exceptional green tea served with the right food. When paired well, Japanese tea can unlock further benefits such as better digestion, better diet, or enhanced sensation of satiety.

Wonderful!

I am absolutely in love with the umami flavour this tea has! This is maybe the most unusual for europeans but this is a component that I was missing in "normal" teas until now.

It will be one of my favourite teas for sure!
