Tsuno Yama Tea

This tea is nurtured in the misty mountain villages of the Shimanto River's headwaters. Centered around Tsuno Town, the Tsuno mountain region is a hidden tea-producing area nestled within the Shikoku Mountains. In the late Edo period, "Rokuzo Tea" was counted as one of the three major famous teas of Tosa, and a culture of tea making has been deeply rooted here since ancient times. Cultivated at high altitudes of around 600 meters, the tea leaves are nurtured by the temperature fluctuations between morning and night and the mountain mist, resulting in low astringency and an exquisite balance of umami, sweetness, and moderate bitterness. Though its color is light, its flavor is profound—that is the charm of Tsuno Yama Tea. In recent years, related products have been created one after another, and it is widely enjoyed as a brand. Please experience the breeze of the headwaters through a single cup of tea.
