Charaku Fine Japanese Tea 2026 Yame, Fukuoka, Spring Harvest Tea Variety Pack Gift Box, 4 x 50g. A gift box with a variety of four teas showcasing different teas tastes and processing styles from the premier tea growing region of Yame, in Fukuoka Prefecture. These teas are all from award-winning tea farmer Takaki Akihito, whose farm is located in the hills of Hoshino Village on the outskirts of Yame. A great gift (we can also provide gift notes*) for an experienced Japanese tea drinker, or for someone just starting on their Japanese tea journey that wants to experience difference teas. It's also a great value to gift yourself! -Gokou Dento Hon-Gyokuro: Traditionally grown, shaded with natural materials, and hand-picked. This premier Gyokuro is rich in umami and an almost dashi-like aroma. -Kirari 31 Kabuse Sencha: Good umami, color, and sweetness, with just a light astringent finish. A much sought-after cultivar. -Hakusei Hakuyoucha ("White Sencha"): High levels of umami, with sweet vegetal notes, and low astringency. A very rare tea! -Kabuse Shiraore (Stems of Kabuse Sencha): "Shiraore" is the regional term for Kukicha (Stem Teas) and these are from excellent Kabuse Sencha. Light grassy aroma, with a buttery mouthfeel and kombu-like umami. Not your usual stem tea! *We're happy to include a personalized note for you! Just include the desired text in the Comments section of your order. The Yame region of Fukuoka Prefecture on Japan's southern island of Kyushu is known for producing high quality Gyokuro and Sencha, but in relatively limited amounts. The region consistently produces teas that win awards at Japanese national tea competitions. A person living in Tokyo would find it a real treat to enjoy fine tea from Yame, and you can now have it here in North America. |
