Asamiya Tea Cookies

An elegant cookie that allows you to enjoy the aroma of Japan's oldest tea. These are baked by kneading in 'Asamiya Tea,' grown in Asamiya, Shigaraki Town, Koka City. Asamiya is one of Japan's oldest tea-producing regions, with a history said to have begun when Saicho brought tea seeds back from China during the Heian period. The tea leaves, grown amidst the misty mountains at altitudes exceeding 400 meters and exposed to significant temperature fluctuations, boast a deep aroma and flavor. These cookies, which leverage the flavor of such famous tea, achieve a magnificent harmony between the rich aroma of the tea and the richness of the butter. With every bite, you can feel the depth of Shiga, the land of tea. This is a perfect treat to pair with both coffee and Japanese tea.
