Tamaryokucha

[ta-ma-rá-koo-cha] This brilliant green tea hails from the Kyushu Island area as a first class type of green tea, appropriate for festive occasions. A tiny, dark green leaf, evenly rolled, makes a lightly green infusion. Its cup results in a rich brew, traditional, delicate grassy flavor but with a bread-like sustenance and fullness, even after several brews. It is steamed longer than traditional Sencha tea, which imparts a full bodied depth to its taste. Drink Tamaryokucha on a humid day or when you yearn for the comfort of fresh-baked bread. Tamaryokucha is sold in a 50g packet for $24.00.
