Okawa Village Tamamidori Green Tea
A phantom tea known only to those in the know. This is the Tamamidori green tea passed down in Okawa Village, a village nestled in high-altitude mountains. Unlike general green teas that are finished by steaming, Okawa Village's Tamamidori is produced using the 'kama-iri' (pan-fired) method. With this process, which is similar to oolong tea production, the tea leaves take on a golden hue and a fragrant aroma, with almost no astringency. Pan-fired tea accounts for only a small percentage of green tea production nationwide and is a rare tea produced only in parts of Kyushu and Shikoku. An aromatic and mellow cup nurtured by the cool climate and pure water of the high-altitude mountains. Please enjoy this precious taste that the village has continued to protect dearly, even amidst progressing depopulation.
