Hioki Yutakamidori Organic

Special features in location, cultivation & processing

The tea farm lies in a remote mountainous area between Kagoshima Bay and the open Pacific Ocean. Its proximity to the sea gives the air a distinctly mineral and maritime quality, which is reflected in the subtly flavoursome quality of teas from this region.

Single Origin

This tea comes 100% from the above-mentioned tea field in Hioki, sourced directly from the tea farmer.

Organic Certification

Brewing Guide

2–3 rounded teaspoons (approx. 6–8 g) per 150–200 ml water, 55–60 °C, steep for 2 minutes.

We recommend preparing up to five infusions. For subsequent infusions, the steeping time should be reduced to 15–20 seconds each, while the temperature may be increased to around 75 °C according to taste."

Packaging & Storage

Directly packaged for us on-site in a high-quality, airtight, resealable zipper pouch with nine protective layers to preserve flavour and prevent oxidation. When closing the bag, press out as much air as possible to keep the tea well preserved. Alternatively, and especially for longer-term storage, we recommend our stylish and airtight tea caddies.

Recommended Teapot

Ideal is a violet Banko Kyusu with an integrated ceramic strainer, which beautifully highlights the tea’s delicate amino acids. Alternatively, a black or red Tokoname Kyusu makes for a versatile all-rounder, perfectly suited for all varieties of Japanese green tea.
