Sonogi Tea (Higashisonogi Tea)
When hot water is poured, an aroma like fresh young leaves rises; when taken into the mouth, a mellow umami and sweetness gently envelop the tongue. With low astringency and a beautiful bright yellowish-green liquor, it is a truly beautiful cup of tea. This is a steamed Gyokuro-style green tea produced in Higashisonogi Town, Nagasaki, characterized by tea leaves that are rounded and curved like magatama beads. It is one of the most much-watched production areas today, having simultaneously won the Minister of Agriculture, Forestry and Fisheries Award and the Regional Production Award at national tea competitions for three consecutive years, and even winning a gold medal at a Japanese tea contest in Paris. A rich cup is perfect for moments when you want to take a relaxing breath. Please take your time to savor the umami of Sonogi, selected as the best in Japan.
