KABURAGIEN

This tea was the most highly acclaimed tea, winning First Place at the Japan Tea Academic Awards out of 122 regular sencha entries in the sencha category at the 77th Kansai Tea Tasting, held at the JA Zennoh Kyoto Uji Tea Distribution Center on September 10, 2025.

Crafted with care by Natsuki Yoshida of the Tsuchiyama Town Tea Association in Koka City, Shiga Prefecture, this tea boasts a refreshing tea aroma and a rich, full-bodied, sweet flavor.

In keeping with the producer's honor, the tea entered in the tasting begins with special soil preparation. Organic fertilizer is added to the soil for two years, and once the soil has fully matured, cuttings are taken. After approximately three years of lovingly nurturing the tea plants, they are finally picked when they reach their peak of growth.

Freshness is essential in Japanese tea. A dozen or so experienced hand-pickers hand-pick the tea, which is then immediately steamed and dried while being hand-rolled by expert hand-rollers.
Teas are examined from four points of view: aroma, shape, taste, and color of water. (Perfect score 200points)
This product scored 194 points in all four categories.
Brew it at lower temperatures (70℃). It gives water a golden green color, which is peculiar to deep steamed tealeaves, a thick, sweet aftertaste, and the delightful strong aroma of a tea. Just one sip gives a sense of satisfaction.
This is a blissful tea.
