Sencha: Gōgumi

Gogumi, in a word, refers to the "art of tea blending." At Yamamotoyama, we utilize this traditional technique to combine tea leaves from various regions that are in their best condition at any given time, developing products that pursue an "ideal flavor" that cannot be achieved with single-origin teas.

Yamamotoyama's blending process is not just about mixing; it's a very elaborate process where each tea leaf's "hi-ire (roasting)" is adjusted individually to bring out its unique characteristics before blending.

If you're ever "unsure which region's tea to buy," you can't go wrong by choosing this blended sencha, "Yamamotoyama." You'll experience the "golden ratio of taste" that this long-established company has carefully preserved.
