Tomomi Organic Kamairicha | 50g
Regular price $28.99Tasting Notes | Freshness and sweetness come together with a subtle touch of umami for an exquisite balance, undisturbed by a pinch of bitterness.
This organic Kamaricha is the flagship product of Miyazaki Sabo. Picked at the end of May, during the first harvest, in Miyazaki prefecture, this premium tea is very rare. It is a blend of yabukita and another, much less known cultivar, kanaya midori.
Facing the Pacific Ocean, Miyazaki prefecture is known for its beautiful pristine beaches and its verdant and luscious mountains. It enjoys a mild climate. While it is not well known outside Japan for its tea, Miyazaki is actually the fourth tea-producing region of Japan. This area produces very high-quality tea. It is notably home to the exceptional and rare Kamairi-cha, made using a very special production technique (pan fry).
Pan-fried and not steamed, this is still very much a green tea, with all of its antioxidants. Its freshness and sweetness come together with a subtle touch of umami for an exquisite balance, undisturbed by a pinch of bitterness. Its low caffeine levels make this tea a perfect choice for a late-afternoon brew.

At Shizen, we believe that both the tea you consume and the pottery you drink from need to be in the highest quality possible. We are dedicated to working with single harvest tea farms in Japan. Our ceramics come from many craftsman in Japan who are continuing the tradition of handmade ceramics.
Shizen Cha is focused on premium grade Japanese Teas and Handcrafted Teaware.
Simply put, Shizen (自然) means "nature" & Cha (茶) means "tea" in Japan. Our loose leaf teas are picked and processed with the utmost care and precision by our tea farms who demand impeccable quality and freshness.
We believe that quality should never be compromised. We pride ourselves on transparency, clear genealogy, and clear production history. We pay close attention to every step from choosing only the finest leaves and growing, shading and steaming methods. By blending our teas in small patches, packaging by hand is how we provide the best quality tea possible.
We welcome all tea enthusiasts to join us learn more about the thousand year tea culture, with one hope, that each visit will provide excitement, knowledge and to experience tea in the best form possible.
"The Philosophy of Tea is not mere aestheticism ... for it expresses conjointly with ethics and religion our whole point of view about man and nature. It is hygiene, for it enforces cleanliness; it is economics, for it shows comfort in simplicity rather than in the complex and costly; it is moral geometry, inasmuch as it defines our sense of proportion to the universe." - Kakuzo Okakura
