Murakami Tea

This is a sweet and mellow tea grown at the northernmost limit of Japan's commercial tea production. With a history dating back to the 1620s, Murakami Tea is known as the 'northernmost tea region' with nearly 400 years of heritage. Because it grows in a harsh climate with long winters and short hours of sunlight, the tea leaves retain high levels of the sweet component theanine while having low levels of tannins, which cause astringency. This snowy landscape is precisely what creates the uniquely mellow and sweet flavor of Murakami Tea. With a single sip, a purity reminiscent of the clear air in a snowy land spreads through you. Please take your time to brew and savor this rare tea nurtured by the northern lands. It is a cup of tea that truly relaxes the soul.
