Collection: YAMANAMI

Registered in Miyazaki Prefecture in 1965, this cultivar was selected from seed-grown tea plants originating from tea varieties in Hubei Province, China. It is especially prized for use in kamairicha and Japanese black tea. Known for its vigorous growth, it offers a gorgeous floral aroma reminiscent of cherry blossoms, balanced by a pleasantly astringent flavor and a bold, awakening body. Because it is cultivated on only a limited scale, it is also regarded as a rare cultivar.
