A premium tea renowned for its refined and delicate flavor. Its origins date back to the Edo period, specifically to 1835. It is produced by shading the tea plants for three weeks before harvest. By blocking out almost all light, the leaves become richer in caffeine, lose tannins, and take on their characteristic dark color. Its flavor, both rich and delicate, is characterized by its umami and subtly sweet vegetal notes. Due to its high theine content, it is perfect for re-energizing after lunch. It can be enjoyed hot or cold, paired with light pastries or fruit to create interesting flavor combinations. Its cultivation accounts for less than 1% of Japan’s total green tea production. Its rarity, the demanding conditions required for its cultivation, and the fact that it was once highly prized by the nobility explain why it is so highly regarded by the Japanese.
