Shirakawa Tea of Higashishirakawa
Tea plantations nestled in the mountains, enveloped in morning mist—this very landscape is the secret to the deliciousness of Shirakawa tea. The history of Shirakawa tea is said to have begun in the Muromachi period, when the chief priest of a temple in Higashishirakawa Village brought back tea seedlings from Uji. Grown slowly in tea gardens at altitudes of 200 to 600 meters while being moistened by the morning mist, the tea leaves develop a mellow flavor with low astringency. Its quality is well-established, as it is a premium tea that has even won the Minister of Agriculture, Forestry and Fisheries Award and the Emperor's Cup. When brewed, a clear aroma and a gentle sweetness spread through the cup. A single sip, which feels as if the entire nature of the mountains has been dissolved within it, adds a moment of quiet luxury to your daily life.
