About this tea
Matcha Tsuyuhikari is made purely from a single tea cultivar, Tsuyuhikari ( 露 光), which means “dew light.” Tsuyuhikari is harvested right in the middle of the spring season and is celebrated for its venerable, Gyokuro-like umami character. The savory feeling of Tsuyuhikari reverberates on the palate long after the first sip, concluding with a refreshing aromatic hint of pine, Sakura and floral oolong tea. This Organic, Ceremonial quality expression of Matcha Tsuyuhikari is produced in the beautiful Kirishima Mountain volcanic region of southern Japan.
