Asagiri Kuma Tea
The gentle aroma of young leaves rises along with the steam. Upon taking a sip, a mellow sweetness and richness slowly spread across the tongue. As the name suggests, Asagiri Town is a land where deep morning mist settles over the Kuma Basin from autumn to spring. This mist, combined with the large temperature fluctuations between day and night, nurtures tea leaves rich in umami. The tea produced in the Hitoyoshi-Kuma region is registered as a regional collective trademark as "Kuma Tea." It is characterized by shaded cultivation, where leaves are covered for a certain period to increase umami and soften astringency. Most are finished as steamed Tamaryokucha. A refined and gentle cup nurtured by the village of mist. Please take your time brewing it and savor the climate of Kuma.
